You can get married at Triyuginarayan Temple in 2027 if you follow Hindu Vedic rites, take prior permission from the temple committee and local authorities, submit ID documents for both bride and groom, bring witnesses, and then register your marriage legally.
In short, there are four steps: Choose a date → Get permission → Submit documents → Do the wedding and register it legally.
Important note: The temple has not published a separate rulebook just for 2027 yet. The rules below are based on the latest 2026 information. Wedding rules, fees and online systems can change, so always confirm with the temple committee before you book.
Triyuginarayan Temple is in Rudraprayag district, Uttarakhand, at about 1,980 metres in the Himalayas. According to Hindu belief, this is the place where Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati got married. Lord Vishnu is believed to have formalised the wedding, and Lord Brahma acted as the priest.
In front of the temple burns the Akhand Dhuni, a sacred fire believed to be burning since that divine wedding. Couples take their pheras around this fire. A stone called Brahma Shila marks the spot of the marriage.
This is why thousands of couples dream of a wedding here. It is peaceful, spiritual and far less crowded than a city wedding hall.
This is the most searched question, so here is a simple answer.
NRIs who follow Hindu rites can usually marry here with valid passport and ID documents. Foreign nationals should check with the committee and the district administration, and may need extra paperwork. Always ask in writing.

Triyuginarayan is under the care of the Shri Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee (BKTC). Since 2024, the committee has been working on formal rules so that weddings here are organised in a planned way, much like other big wedding temples.
You will usually need:
Reported fee: Several sources say the official temple registration fee is around ₹1,100. If anyone asks for much more only for "permission", be careful and verify before paying. Planner and package charges are different and are not temple fees.
How early should you apply? Apply at least 4 to 8 weeks before your date. For peak wedding months, start 2 to 3 months early.
Keep both original and photocopies. Also keep digital scans in your phone.
Tip: Make a simple folder with all papers in order. A neat file makes verification faster.
Talk to a family priest or astrologer for an auspicious muhurat. Keep two or three backup dates. The temple reportedly handles only a small number of weddings per day, so popular dates fill up fast.
Call or visit the temple office, or reach out through the BKTC office. Share your names, date, guest count and contact details.
Submit the written application with documents. As of 2026, the full process is not completely digital. Some steps can start by email or phone, but document checking is often done in person or through a representative.
Ask for a written receipt or confirmation. Keep it safe, as you will need it later for registration.
Rooms near the temple are limited. Many couples stay in Guptkashi, Sonprayag, Sitapur or nearby places. Book hotels and taxis well in advance.
Mountain roads can be slow because of weather. Reaching a day early gives time to meet the priest and arrange samagri.
The wedding takes place with a temple priest, with pheras around the Akhand Dhuni. The ceremony is simple, sacred and meaningful.
The temple gives a marriage receipt after the ceremony. This is a key document for legal registration.
A temple ceremony is a religious wedding. For legal proof, you must register your marriage.
The temple ceremony is religious. For legal proof, you should register the marriage under the Hindu Marriage Act or the applicable state system.
You need this certificate for visa applications, passports, name change, bank accounts and insurance.
These are common temple-area norms and good practice. The committee may add or change specific rules.
There is no single official number published everywhere. Travel sources suggest:
If your family is large, hold the main pheras at the temple with close family and organise the reception or party at a hotel or resort.

Travelling without written permission
The main rules are: take prior permission from the temple committee and local authorities, follow Hindu Vedic rites, submit ID and age proof of both bride and groom, bring witnesses, and register the marriage legally afterwards. The temple has not announced a separate 2027 rulebook yet, so confirm the latest rules before booking.
Adult Hindu couples who want a Vedic wedding can marry here. The groom should be at least 21 and the bride at least 18, and both must give free consent. Family presence is expected. Interfaith couples should speak to the committee first, as temple rituals are Hindu Vedic.
Yes. Prior permission from the temple committee and local priest body is needed, and district administration clearance may be needed for large groups or commercial photography. Walk-in weddings are generally not allowed.
You need Aadhaar cards, age proof, passport-size photos, a marriage application form, and witness IDs. Some offices also ask for a wedding card. Divorced or widowed persons need divorce or death certificates. Keep originals and photocopies.
Some steps, like first enquiry and certain permission requests, can start by phone, email or online. But the full temple process is not completely digital as of 2026, and document verification may still be offline. Legal marriage registration can be done through the official government portal in many states.
The temple wedding is a religious ceremony. For legal validity, register it under the Hindu Marriage Act or your state's registration system. The temple's marriage receipt helps as supporting proof. Register at the Registrar office or portal, either in Rudraprayag or in your home city.
A simple wedding can cost about ₹50,000 to ₹1.5 lakh. A family wedding with stay may cost ₹1.5 to ₹3 lakh, and a destination wedding can go from ₹4 lakh to ₹10 lakh or more. The temple registration fee is reported to be around ₹1,100. Costs depend on guests, hotels and decor.
There is no widely published strict limit, but the courtyard is small. About 15 to 50 guests is ideal for the ceremony. Larger families usually hold the reception at a nearby hotel or resort.
Apply at least 4 to 8 weeks before the wedding. For peak seasons, apply 2 to 3 months early so you get your preferred date and good hotel rooms.
The best months are April to June and September to November, when the weather is pleasant. Avoid July and August because of rain and landslides, and note that winter can be very cold.
A wedding at Triyuginarayan Temple is not just a ceremony. It is a blessing at the place where Shiva and Parvati are believed to have married. The rules are simple if you plan early: take permission, keep documents ready, keep the guest list small, and register your marriage legally.
Before you pay any advance or book hotels, call the temple committee or local priest office and get everything in writing. Then your 2027 wedding can be smooth, peaceful and truly memorable.
