Triyuginarayan Temple: Where the Gods Themselves Bless Your Marriage
If you wish to make your wedding not just romantic, but divine and unforgettable, then Triyuginarayan Temple nestled in the lap of Uttarakhand could be the destination of your dreams. This is the very place where, in the Treta Yuga, the sacred wedding of Bhagwan Shiva and Devi Parvati was solemnized. In this divine ceremony, Bhagwan Vishnu performed the duties of Parvati’s brother, and Lord Brahma officiated as the priest of the holy wedding ritual.
One of the most unique features of this temple is the eternal flame that has been burning continuously since that divine event. Because of this, the temple is also known as the Akhand Dhuni Temple (the temple of the eternal fire). Devotees take the sacred ash from the havan kund (ritual fire pit) with them, believing it brings happiness and prosperity to their married life.
Outside the temple lies the Brahmashila, believed to be the exact spot where the celestial wedding took place. Within the temple premises originates a sacred stream called Saraswati Ganga, which feeds four holy ponds—Rudra Kund, Vishnu Kund, Brahma Kund, and Saraswati Kund. These kunds hold deep spiritual significance, where devotees perform sacred rituals like bathing, cleansing, sipping holy water, and offering oblations.
The Triyuginarayan Temple is also believed to be dedicated to Lord Vishnu’s Vamana Avatar. With a history dating back nearly 18,000 years, it is considered one of the oldest religious sites in the world.
This is not just a wedding venue, but a spiritual experience—a place where the sacred bond of marriage is believed to be blessed directly by the deities.
With its divine aura, natural beauty, rich culture, and deep-rooted history, this sacred land of Uttarakhand has become one of the most cherished and ideal destinations for a traditional Indian wedding.
