Triyugi Narayan temple is located in Triyuginarayan village, a part of the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand. It is 12 km from Sonprayag and reachable by road.
The temple looks like the Kedarnath temple, but the deity is Triyugi Narayan or Vishnu. It is believed that the temple was consecrated by Adi Shankara. The temple has a silver idol of Narayana with Lakshmi and Vagdevi Saraswati.
Outside the temple is a Havana kund or altar where there is an eternal flame that never dies out. This is the exact spot where the marriage between Lord Shiv and Goddess Parvati took place.
Triyugi refers to three yugas or eras during which time people offered wood to the eternal fire. The significance of this temple is that Lord Vishnu stood here as witness to Shiv-Parvati’s wedding. It is believed that this village used to be the capital of Himavat, father of Parvati.
