About the Temple
A Sacred Himalayan Abode Since the Age of Truth
Triyuginarayan Temple is a historical Hindu shrine based in a hamlet with the same name located in Uttarakhand state’s Rudraprayag district at an altitude of 1,980 metres above sea level. Vishnu temple is an important pilgrimage center not only for Indians but also for the members of other communities.
"According to beliefs, Triyuginarayan is deemed as the capital of Himavat – the divine place where Lord Shiva was married to Goddess Parvati and this event was witnessed by Lord Vishnu and presided by Lord Brahma. "
The name Triyugi Narayan is composed of three words: Tri (three), Yugi (cosmic epochs), and Narayan (Lord Vishnu) means Lord of three ages. The temple follows the architecture of the Kedarnath Temple which great philosopher-saint Adi Shankaracharya built..
The principal shrine possesses a splendid silver image of two-foot Lord Vishnu with Goddess Lakshmi and Goddess Saraswati. The source of the stream Saraswati Ganga which runs through the temple courtyard feeds the four sacred bathing ponds Rudra Kund, Vishnu Kund, Brahma Kund and Saraswati Kund.
