The
Temple Complex
The temple thus came into existence is modest in dimensions; yet
majestic in appearance with gilded steeple, piercing into azure sky
and shining bright against the back drop of snow-capped mountains.
It is built of dressed stone and is treasuring up sculptural wealth
of rare kind. Though the exterior is bereft of either architectural
excellences, or' sculptural embellishments, the inside is adorned
with Marvellous images of supreme craftsmanship that wring
veneration from the devotees. It has two parts -- the mandap and the
garbha griha. In the garbha griha, there is seen an irregular shaped
conical rock measuring about five feet by four feet and worshipped
as Lord Maheswar -- Kedareswar. The local name for this is
Siva Pinda. According to tradition, it is the rump of the bull, the
form which the Lord assumed at the time of Pandavas nearing Him.
There are many beautiful idols on the walls representing the sports
of the Lord. Nandi -- the divine vehicle of the Lord arrests the
attention of the on-lookers by its unusual size and sculptural
beauty.
The
second is located on the banks of Pavana Ganga that purges of all
our sins, let us visit Varanasi for the' blessings of Kasi
Viswanatha Bhagawan.
