Bharat Mandir
Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India
Bharat Mandir is not only the oldest temple in Rishikesh but also holds immense historical and spiritual significance. Dedicated to Lord Hrishikesh Narayan, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, the temple dates back to the 9th century and was established by Adi Shankaracharya. It is believed that the ori ginal idol of Lord Hrishikesh Narayan was recovered from the Ganges and re-installed here. The temple boasts ancient architecture, though it has undergone several renovations over the centuries. A unique feature of the temple is that pilgrims perform a circumambulation (parikrama) of the deity within the temple complex itself. The sacred 'Shree Yantra' is carved on the ceiling of the main sanctum. The peaceful ambiance of the temple, away from the bustling ghats, allows for quiet contemplation and devotion. It is also significant for its association with the Panch Prayag circuit of Uttarakhand. Every year on Basant Panchami, the idol of Lord Hrishikesh Narayan is taken out in a procession for a holy bath in the Ganges, reflecting a long-standing tradition. Visiting Bharat Mandir offers a glimpse into the ancient spiritual roots of Rishikesh and a deep connection to its rich cultural heritage.
