About Ragunath Temple

Raghunath Temple is an ancient religious shrine dedicated to Lord Rama and Goddess Sita situated adjacent to Triveni Ghat in the old city quarter of Rishikesh. Built in traditional North Indian temple architecture, this revered temple holds deep mythical resonance in Uttarakhand.

Ragunath Temple Rishikesh

Directly in front of the temple lies the sacred water pond known as Rishikund (Pond of the Sage). According to local tradition, this reservoir was built by saint Kubz and blessed by Goddess Yamuna, who filled it with her celestial waters to facilitate the sage daily morning bath.

The sanctum enshrines beautifully adorned black stone idols of Lord Rama, Goddess Sita, and Lord Lakshmana. The calm waters of Rishikund reflect the temple spires, creating a serene sanctuary right beside the lively local bazaar.
