TriyugiNarayan Temple - Wedding Place of Lord Shiva & Goddess Parvati

The famous Triyugi Narayan temple is located in TriyogiNarayan village in Rudraprayag district.  The ancient temple is dedicated to the Lord Vishu. The temple is the wedding destination of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati witnessed by Lord Vishnu. The speciality of this holy place is the eternal fire that has been burning for years. It is believed that Shiva and Parvati married in front of this flame and it has been burning from the times of the divine marriage. Thats why the place named TriyugiNarayan temple.

Shiva and Parvati's marriage happens in the capital city of Triyuginarayan under the guidance of the King Himavath who is the father of Parvati. Legends say that Lord Vishnu himself becomes the brother of Parvati and Lord Brahma is the priest in this grand wedding. Thousands of sages, gods and goddess, are said to have been the part of this exotic ceremony. Interestingly, the places where they took a bath during the wedding are known as Brahmakund, Rudrakund and Vishnu Kund in Uttarakhand.
