History:

• Gaurikund temple is a temple dedicated to Goddess Parvati, also known as Gauri. According to myths and legends, this is the place where Goddess Parvati, the wife of Lord Shiva did penance involving ascetic and yoga practices to win over Shiva's heart.
• Local tradition claims that Gauri Kund is the spot where Gauri lived while carrying out these practices and it was here that Shiva finally admitted His love for Her. 
• They were married at  Triyugi Narayan, which is located nearby. There are hot springs in Gaurikund and they are converted to bathing places.
• This place is also associated with the legend of how Ganesha acquired his elephant head. While bathing in the kund, Goddess Parvati fashioned  Ganesha from the soap suds on Her body, breathed life into Him and placed Him at the entrance as Her guard. 
• Lord Shiva happened to arrive at the spot and He was stopped by Ganesha. 
• Indignant at this affront, Shival cut off Ganesha's head and Parvati was inconsolable. She insisted that the boy be brought back to life and Shiva took the head of a wandering elephant and placed it on Ganesha's body. 
• Parvati had Her son back and Ganesha acquired the persona by which He is known all over the Hindu world since then.
