Bhootnath Temple

About This Activity

Visit Bhootnath Temple, an ancient Shiva temple located in the heart of old Rishikesh near Triveni Ghat. This small but significant temple is believed to be over 1,000 years old and holds great spiritual importance. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva in his Bhootnath (Lord of Spirits) form. According to local belief, the temple is visited by spirits at night who come to worship Lord Shiva. The peaceful temple is surrounded by narrow lanes of old Rishikesh, offering an authentic glimpse into the traditional spiritual atmosphere of the town. The temple is simple in architecture but rich in devotional energy. It's a quiet spot perfect for meditation and experiencing the older, spiritual side of Rishikesh away from tourist crowds.
