Harihara Ksetra
The parikrama leads to a long walk in the small muddy lane amidst nice rice fields and small dwellings of the locals to Harihara Ksetra. This place is also Mahavaranasi or Benares. Here, Lord Siva personally comes and chants "Gauranga" in the ears of the soul thus delivering them at the time of death. The main deity is Hari-hara (half Lord Vishnu and half Lord Siva ) A deity of Gopala and footprints of Gadadhara Pandit are also present in the temple. Alakananda river flows just next to the temple. Here were the pastime of Jagadanandapandit, who is Satyabhama in Krishna lila and how the parrot revealed that Gauranga was combined form of Radha and Krishna.
