Bhootnath Temple Rishikesh🔱📿
when Lord Shiva traveled with his marriage procession (barat)—which included divine beings, ghosts, and ganas—to marry Goddess Sati (or Parvati), they rested at this exact hilltop location for a night before proceeding further.
Another belief suggests Lord Shiva manifested here as Bhootnath to protect the holy region and its inhabitants from evil forces.
