The Triyugi Narayan temple is also known as the Trijugi Narayan temple. It belongs to Lord Vishnu, the world's preserver. The architecture of this temple is comparable to that of the Badrinath shrine. If you plan a vacation to Uttarakhand, include Triyuginarayan Temple on your list of places to visit Kedarnath

Triyuginarayan Temple history 

There is a fascinating story about the temple's history. It is located in Uttarakhand's Rudraprayag district. According to legend, Triyuginarayan was the capital of Himavat, where Lord Shiva and Goddess Sati married at the Brahmashira. The temple appears to be the exact location on Earth where the wedding ceremony took place.

Why visit Triyuginarayan Temple?

Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati married in the village of Triyugi Narayan. Because the wedding occurred before Lord Vishnu, the Triyuginarayan temple was built in his honor. Lord Vishnu is said to have made all of the arrangements for the celestial wedding and acted as Parvati's brother. At the same time, Lord Brahma performed the role of a priest. 

The Brahma Shila in front of the temple also denotes the precise location of the wedding. Three sacred kunds or ponds with beneficial properties are Rudra kund, Vishnu kund, and Brahma kund. According to Hindu belief, the Saraswati kund, which originates from Lord Vishnu's navel, replenishes these kunds. Before entering the temple, many Hindu visitors take a holy bath in these kunds. 

The best time to visit 

The Triyuginarayan Mandir is a wonderful place on the KEDARNATH TOUR PACKAGE for visitors and devotees who want to enjoy the beauty of the region as well as the peacefulness of the temple. The optimum time to visit the temple is when the summer season begins, which is between October and March. It is also the ideal season for a temple wedding.
