HISTORY:

In consonance with Hindu mythology the origin of the temple goes long back to the Dwarpa Yuga. Ensuing the war and the ascension of Lord Vishnu鈥檚 incarnation Lord Krishna to heaven, the Pandavas decided to get there sins pardoned and furthermore ascend to heaven,in consequence they approach Sage Vyas Rishi who apprised them that their sins of slaying their own brothers(Kauravas) can only be pardoned if they worship Lord Shiva and make him happy.So the Pandavas en routed the journey to the Himalayas in search of the great Lord.

Lord Shiva was already aware of the sins committed by the Pandavas so he took disguise of a bull, however Bheema noticed something unusual with the bull who was grazing near Guptkashi(Hidden Kashi) and held it by its tails and hind legs however the bull disappeared into the ground and later reappeared in parts at five different places.

Pursuant to the Hindu mythology Tungnath is the place where the hands were seen and for this reason it is considered as one of the most reverent temples(Tritiya Kedar in the Panch Kedars) among the Hindus.

It is also believed that Lord Rama meditated here post defeating Ravana the demon king.

The name Chandrashila means 鈥渕oon rock鈥� and it is also said that God Chandra spent time here in penace.
