Lord Umra Narayan temple is the holy abode of Lord Vishnu with maa alaknanda flowing in her full tranquility. This temple is 5-7 km from the main town of Rudraprayag in Uttarakhand.[citation needed]

Origins

This temple was built by Adi Shankaracharya when he was on his way to Badri Dhaam. To wash your sins is Maa Alaknanda, whose splashing sound enchants your ear drum and gives you the feeling of piousness. Lord Umra is the Isth Dev of Gairola Clan of Gram Sann. After every harvest, the first group of crops are endowed in the holy Charnas of the Isth Dev and whose blessings radiates optimism and brings the well being of all his minions. Jai Badri Vishaal, Jai Umra Narayan. [1]
