Triyuginarayan Temple Wedding – The Ultimate Guide to a Divine Himalayan Ceremony
The allure of tying the knot at a mythological site where Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati were wed is more than spiritual—it's eternal. Nestled in the Himalayas of Uttarakhand, the Triyuginarayan Temple wedding venue is becoming one of India’s most divine and high-demand destinations for couples seeking both tradition and transcendence. As professionals in Himalayan destination weddings, we’ve curated a complete and precise guide that covers every aspect of hosting your wedding at this sacred temple.
Introduction to Triyuginarayan Temple
Triyuginarayan is located in the Rudraprayag district, perched at an elevation of approximately 1,980 meters. This 5,000-year-old temple is mythologically recognized as the very spot where Lord Vishnu himself presided over the wedding ceremony of Lord Shiva and Parvati. The eternal flame (Akhand Dhuni) burning at the temple’s courtyard is believed to have been lit during this divine union—and it still burns today.
