Vishnu Temple stands at Vishnuprayag, the first and highest of the Panch Prayags, where the roaring Dhauliganga surges down from the Tibetan border to merge into the Alaknanda at 1,372 meters. Built around an ancient octagonal rock formation by the Maharani of Indore, Ahilyabai Holkar, in 1889, it honors the spot where Sage Narada attained divine audience with Vishnu.
