Places To Visit In Gaurikund Sightseeing

Gauri temple is a temple dedicated to Goddess Parvati, also known as Gauri. According to myths and legends, this is the place where Goddess Parvati, the wife of Lord Shiva did penance involving ascetic and yoga practices to win over Shiva's heart. Lord Shiva admitted his love for Goddess Parvati at this place and they married at Triyugi Narayan.

Parvati was taking a bath and Lord Ganesha guarding the door. Lord Ganesha didn't let Lord Shiva enter the kund and in furious anger he chopped the head of Ganesha. It was later restored with the head of an elephant. But after the flash floods there is only a small stream of water flowing at the place of kund.
