History & tradition
Gopinath Mandir is an ancient temple of Shiva in Gopeshwar, in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. The temple is notable for its architecture: it is crowned by a great dome, and its sanctum is entered through twenty-four doors. In the courtyard stands a trident about five metres high, made of eight metals. Fragments of broken images found around the temple show that several more shrines once stood here.
