What is the story of Tapovan Mandir?

Tapovan Temple, though not ancient, has quickly risen to prominence since its establishment. The main aim of the temple was to create a peaceful place for worship and meditation along with Hindu philosophy. 

The architecture of the Tapovan temple is modern, but it still reflects the Vedic leaves and the connection with nature. The main reason for the calmness of the temple is the use of natural materials and the silent setting. It is the reason we get thousands of devotees from all over the world.
