About Triyuginarayan
Triyuginarayan is an ancient village and temple in Rudraprayag district at 1,980 m, believed to be the exact location where Lord Shiva married Goddess Parvati, with Lord Vishnu presiding and Brahma as priest. The sacred Akhand Dhuni (eternal flame) burning in the temple courtyard — said to have burned since the divine wedding through three cosmic ages — gives the village its name. The ash from this fire is supremely auspicious. Triyuginarayan has become a popular destination for Hindu couples seeking blessings at the site of the divine union.

Tips
Perfect Kedarnath add-on — only 26 km from Gaurikund. Many couples visit for marriage blessings. Village is tiny with very basic facilities — carry food or eat at the local dhabas. Overnight homestay in the village is deeply peaceful and recommended.
