Mathi temple

Mathi is Kinnaur Local People’s Goddess. There are three temples in the same complex, of which the oldest one is believed to be founded about five hundred years ago by a resident of Garhwal. The temple houses an ark made of walnut wood, which is covered with clothes and a yak tail tuft. Two poles are put into this ark from which to hold it. According to the legend, Lord Badrinath’s wife Mathi once began her journey from Brindavan, and she reached Tibet via Mathura and Badrinath.
