Sri Yantra Tapu – Adi Shankaracharya Placed The Rock Upside-Down inside River Alaknanda
Dev – a guide, a friend, requested to stop the motorbike. We are between Kirti Nagar and Srinagar on National Highway 58. On the left-hand side is the holy river Alaknanda, and in the middle of the river is a huge rock known as Sri Yantra Tapu.
It is said and believedthat whoever saw Sri Yantra (naturally present on the rock) in those days either became blind or died that is why Adi Shankaracharya, with the help of local people, placed the rock upside down inside the river Alaknanda so that no one ever is able to see Sri Yantra again.
Wah – That is knowledge enhanced. Thank you very much, Dev Ji.
Shree Yantra Tapu Resort is a hotel on the right-hand side, with a similar name, said Dev.
Upon Google search, yes, I found some similar information. Check: http://www.srinagargarhwal.com/
Thank you.
Ghet Ka Phana – Traditional Food of Uttarakhand
Whenever I drive via Devprayag, I try to visit Bagi Village to have homemade food. This time during the visit I had Ghet ka Phana, Gawar ki Phalli (vegetable) with roti.
The traditional food of Uttarakhand is always awesome, but these days what to say – A tough wish.
Anyway, the cost was Rs. 100, I paid.
