of birds breaks the tranquility of the adjoining thick Oak and Deodar forests
and apple orchards. The ancient temple of Ghandiyal Devta in the vicinity is

of Alaknanda and Mandakini rivers, at a distance of 34 kms. From Srinagar (Garhwal).
The meeting of the Mandakini and Alaknanda rivers has a unique beauty of its
own and it seems as if two sisters were embracing each other. It is believed
that to master the mysteries of music, Narad Muni worshipped Lord Shiva, who
appeared in his Rudra Avtaar (incarnation) to bless Narad. The Shicve and Jagdambe
temples are of great religious importance.
