Vishnu Prayag

Spent a night at Laxminarayan temple located on the holy confluence of Vishnu Ganga and Bhagirathi river. 25 kms from Gangotri down the Ganges this place is called Vishnu Prayag or Harsil. One devout Doctor Mr Nagendra Rawat takes care of this 100 year old temple.
.
Thanks to him :)

Duryodhan Temple


Surprising but true, In the remotely located Himalayan village Osla stands a temple of Duryodhan. It is said that the people here are the descendants of those who fought for Duryodhan in the war of Mahabharat, and these went in the mountains when they lost.
Untouched by the modern world, life here is very primitive, for the children a Train or an Aeroplane is a fairy-tale story of the lands far far away.
