Shri Bharat Mandir, located in Rishikesh, was founded by Adiguru Shankaracharya in the 12th century and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu, whose idol is carved from a single Saligram stone. The temple's inner canopy features the sacred Shree Yanthra, and its architecture is detailed in the ancient records of Kearkhand.
Reconstructed after being destroyed by Timur, the site has revealed fascinating artifacts through excavations, including statues, ancient pots, and coins, highlighting its historical and spiritual significance.
