Triyugi Narayan is located on the mountain road between Gangotri and Kedarnath. It is about 5 kms off the main road and can be reached from Sitapur of Son Prayag. It is said that the marriage of
Lord Shiva and
Parvati took place here at the Brahma Shila in Satyug.
Lord Brahma was the priest who conducted the marriage and Lord
Narayana offered his sister Parvati to Lord Shiva. It is said that the marriage Havan Kund has been kept burning for three Yugas. Pilgrims offer pieces of Havan in the Kund and take home the ashes as Prasada.
It is said that the present Akhand Dhuni temple was built by Lord
Shankaracharya about 1200 years ago. In this temple, there is a 2 foot silver deity of Lord Narayana (Vishnu) with
Goddess Lakshmi and Godess Saraswati on either side. There is a stone outside the temple that marks the spot where the marriage was performed. There are four Holy Kunds here- Vishnu Kund, Rudra Kund, Brahma Kund and Saraswati Kund.
