Bishnupaduka, Dharan

110.34.22.70:


'''Bishnupaduka''' is one of the holy place for Hindus. It is situated in northwest direction of [[Dharan Nepal|Dharan]], Where holy river Kokaha originated. Local people find a rock with two clear footprints and it is believed that the footprints are of Lord [[Vishnu]]. So the people built a small temple and called it Bishnupaduka temple.

This religious place is mentioned on the one hundred and tenth chapter of Holy book [[Brahma Purana]]. It clearly states that Lord Vishnu and Laxmi observed [[Śrāddha|Sharaddha]] (Worship in remembrance of one's ancestors) of Arsha and other Divine Ancestors. Every year a lot of Hindus form surrounding area gather here, specially during the month of [[Paush]] for the Shraddha of their ancestors. Main pilgrimage sites to perform shraddha are Gokarna of [[Kathmandu]], Betrawati of [[Rasuwa]], and Bishnupaduka of Dharan.<ref>https://ift.tt/2r9mPoV>

Spritures have accepted this shrine to be older and holier than [[Gaya]] of [[India]].
