Triyuginarayan Temple
Triyuginarayan is believed to be where Shiva and Parvati were wed, with a sacred fire said to have burned since that day. Couples from across India come here for weddings beside the eternal flame and the Brahma Shovrat kund.
Jageshwar Dham
Jageshwar Dham is a grove of over a hundred 9th–13th century stone temples beneath ancient deodars — one of the great Jyotirlinga sites of the Himalaya. Moss-covered shikhara towers, ringing bells and quiet lanes make it Kumaon's most atmospheric heritage shrine.
Baijnath Temple
Baijnath's 12th-century Katyuri temples stand on the banks of the Gomti, guarded by stone idols and a pair of tame fish in the temple pond. It was once the capital of the Katyuri kings, and the riverside ruins are wonderfully photogenic.
Katarmal Sun Temple
Katarmal's 9th-century Sun Temple is India's second-most important sun temple after Konark — a hilltop complex of the main Burhadita shrine and dozens of small satellite temples overlooking terraced Kumaon valleys.
