Why devotees come here
Triyuginarayan Temple is a shrine to Vishnu in Triyuginarayan village, Rudraprayag district, Uttarakhand. A perpetual fire burns in front of it, believed to have been kindled at the divine marriage of Shiva and Parvati.
Legend says the temple is the venue of the celestial marriage of Shiva and Parvati, which took place in the Satya Yuga. The flame is believed to burn from the times of that marriage.
The present shrine is believed to have been built by Adi Shankaracharya, a saint and philosopher, about 1,200 years ago. It houses a silver image of Vishnu, two feet tall, also called Narayana. The temple resembles the Kedarnath Temple in its architectural style.
The temple stands in Triyuginarayan village at an elevation of 1,980 metres. Gauri Kund, about 5 kilometres away, is dedicated to Parvati. A motorable road runs about 12 kilometres from Sonprayag to the temple. The trek from Kedarnath, which lies to the north, covers about 25 kilometres.
