Triyuginarayan TempleVishnu, surrounded by smaller shrines and a sacred fire altar in front. The courtyard looks out over terraced fields and distant snow peaks, giving it a serene, open feeling. The special feature is the eternal flame (Akhand Dhuni) that burns in front of the temple; pilgrims take ashes from this fire as blessings, and many Hindu couples perform marriage rituals here, believing it brings divine grace to their union.
About this place
History & highlights
Triyuginarayan is famous in Puranic lore as the place where Shiva and Parvati were married, with Vishnu himself acting as presiding deity. The name means “the Lord of the three yugas,” referring to the flame said to have burned from Satya, Treta and Dvapara Yuga until now. The present temple is often dated to around the 8th century CE and linked to Adi Shankaracharya’s efforts to revive pilgrimage routes in the Himalaya. Over time, Triyuginarayan became part of the wider Kedarnath circuit, attracting not only pilgrims but also couples and photographers; in recent years it has even hosted celebrity and destination weddings while still preserving its ancient ritual core.
