Parad Shivling is a unique solid mercury lingam enshrined inside the tranquil premises of Harihar Ashram in Kankhal near Haridwar. Weighing approximately 150 kilograms, this extraordinary sacred idol is created through ancient Rasashastra metallurgical alchemical techniques in Uttarakhand.

In Hindu tradition and ancient Rasayana texts, worshiping a pure mercury lingam (Parad) is believed to bestow supreme spiritual liberation, dispel negative energy, and bestow divine blessings of health and prosperity. The sanctum remains filled with Vedic chanting and incense throughout daily worship.
Another prominent attraction within the ashram courtyard is a massive ancient Rudraksha tree bearing genuine multi faceted Rudraksha beads. Devotees from across India visit Kankhal to seek darshan of the mercury lingam and meditate beneath the sacred tree.
The ashram is supervised under the lineage of Swami Avdheshanand Giri Ji Maharaj and maintains pristine silence and spiritual decorum. Visitors can observe daily Rudrabhishek pujas performed with sacred Ganga water.
Visiting Hours: 6:00 AM to 12:30 PM & 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM daily
Entry Fee: Free entry (Special abhishek bookings available at trust office)
