SRI NAGAR - GARWAL

Srinagar Garhwal is the last night stop towards the holy Hindu temples of "Badrinath" and "Kedarnath". Srinagar also has its own share of temples.

1) Kamleshwar Mahadev-- Dedicated to God Shiva this has quiet a few fan following. About its origin, there is a story that once God Vishnu came to this place and seeing the beauty of this place decided to pray to God Shiva and to offer him 1000 Lotus(Kamal) as a token of devotion. So he collected the 1000 Kamal and started his prayer. Shiva to test his devotion quietly hide one of the lotus(kamal) from amongst the 1000.When Vishnu came to the end of his prayers he realised that there was one Lotus missing. Now to leave the prayer without offering the 1000 lotus flowers as he had committed in the start would be disrespect so Vishnu thought of another way. He remembered that he is known as KamalNayan (one with beautiful lotus shaped eyes), so he pick up his sword to pull out one of his eye to offer it as the last lotus. But before he could actually do it, Shiva appeared before him smiling with the lotus in his hand. So in order to celebrate this incidence a temple was built and inside is Shiva is worshiped with the name of Kamaleshwer(God with the Lotus Flower)

2) Kilkileshwar Mahadev-- Another Shiva temple located in the banks of river Alaknanda, Kilkileshwar Mahadev was established by Shankaracharya the legendary Hindu Guru.

Namaskar,
Mehta ji is doing yeoman's service and we should applaud his efforts.

I am writing a bit off-track. This should not be written under this headline but I am unable to stop myself from doing this. पहले ही क्षमा-याचना कर लेता हूँ.

We people tend to get influenced a lot by outsiders. Instead of sticking to our roots, we dither and adopt their ways and means and most importantly, their language. Otherwise, how could ग्वेल देवता become गोलू devataa and गर्जिया देवी become गिरिजा देवी.

I appeal my countryfolks to resist this trend and maintain our own identity by not adopting others blindfoldly.
Namaskar

Kukuchina

It is said that Kukuchina is the last point till which the Kauravas came, after which they returned. Hence, this placed was named 'Kauravchina' which in time, came to be called 'Kukuchina'. 5 kilometres from here is the Pandukholi. The Taragtal, believed to have been constructed by the Pandavas is also a mere 3 kilometres away. Both these places are trek routes reachable only by foot.
