The Triyuginarayan temple in Triyuginarayan village located at the confluence of the Sone-Ganga and Mandakini rivers in the Rudraprayag district is of considerable significance because it was the venue chosen for Lord Shiva and Parvati's marriage. The ancient temple is dedicated 
to Bhagwan Vishnu. Triyuginarayan consists of three words - Tri + Yuga + Narayan. The word Tri denotes Three, Yuga means era and Narayan refers to Lord Vishnu. This temple has been in existence since Satyuga, followed by Treta Yuga and Dwapar Yuga.
The Satyuga was the Yuga of Lord Vishnu, while Treta and Dwarapa were the Yugas when he reincarnated as
Rama and Krishna respectively. The celestial marriage of Bhagwan Shiva and Mata Parvati took place in the presence of Lord Brahma, who turned a priest to conduct the ceremony
Rama and Krishna respectively. The celestial marriage of Bhagwan Shiva and Mata Parvati took place in the presence of Lord Brahma, who turned a priest to conduct the ceremony
, and Bhagwan Vishnu, who performed the duties of the bride's brother. The sages and the locals witnessed the divine union. And most importantly, the Agni (fire) that was Sakshi (witness), of the wedding ceremony, still exists today. The eternal flame is called Akhand Dhuni,
where Akhand means endless and Dhuni means flame. Since this place witnessed the celestial marriage of Bhagwan Shiva and Mata Parvati, devotees visit the temple for marital bliss and harmony.
