About
<h1> </h1> <p>Bharat Temple Bharat temple is situated in the heart of the township of Rishikesh. It is approximately half kilometer away from the Triveni Ghat, the famous river bank in the town. Said to be the oldest temple in Rishikesh, it is also regarded as one of the most ancient shrines in India. According to historical evidences, Adiguru Shankracharya, the great theologian, laid the foundation stone of Bharat temple. The temple has been named after Lord Ram's second brother ‘Bharat'; however the presiding deity of this temple is Lord Vishnu, ‘the Preserver'.</p> <p> </p>
History
<p> </p> <p>The statue of God Narayana (Vishnu), enshrined in Bharat mandir, is of black stone, carved out from a single piece of Saligram. The image has a noticeably Himalayan appearance. Though the temple's main deity is Lord Vishnu, it holds a number of other illustrations as well, generally related to Lord Shiva, the Destroyer. The idol of Lord Hrishikesh Bharatji is also installed in this temple. The idol was obscured in the Maya Kund of the temple, in order to save it from the attack of the Boddha people.</p> <p>Every year, on the day of Basant Panchami, the idol of Lord Hrishikesh is taken out, in a holy procession, for a dip in the sacred water of river Ganga. Followers from far off places come to Rishikesh for participating in this procession. The holy records of Bharat temple can be found in the ancient records of Kearkhand, a religious text of Hindus. It is said that the temple that stands now is actually a renovated image of the original temple, which was destroyed by Tamur, a bandit. Bharat temple is the perfect destination for tourists who have a love for ancient religious monuments and a desire to explore historical facts.</p>
Deity description
<p> </p> <p>In the seventeenth Manavavtar, Lord Vishnu pleased by the hard penance of Raibhya rishi Himself said "I will reside here for ever as Hrishikesh Narayan and this place will be known as Hrishikesh." Those who worshiped me as Varah in Satyug, as Parashuram in Treta Yug, Vaman in Dwapar and Bharat in Kaliyug are certainly entitled for liberation.</p>
