History of temple: Pandavas defeated their cousins Kauravas in the epic war of Mahabharata. But, at the cost of killing the gotra & brahmanas. For self-mortification they left their kingdom & went in search of lord Shiva. First they reached Varanasi or Kashi which is one of the favourite city of Shiva. But, Shiva was deeply hurt by dishonesty of Kurushtetra war so, he was insensative to Pandavas prayers. He assumed the form of Bull (Nandi) & disappeared in Garhwal Himalayas. When Pandavas reached Garhwal region Bhima one of the five Pandavas saw the Nandi in “Guptkashi” region. “Guptkashi” means hidden kashi or Shiva.
