According to prevelant legends , Maa Parvati to save herself from Mahishasura took refuge in vaitarni / BEDNI KUND located at BEDNI BUGHYAL, Uttarakhand state. Locals also say the original name was VEDANI ( the location where VEDAS were brought in to existence ) later came to be known as BEDANI.
Considered one of the most beautiful bughyals in Uttarakhand I decided to venture upto BEDNI Bughyal enoute ROOPKUND ( the high altitude lake approx.15 k feet ).During my visit ,I noticed temples of MAA Nanda Devi and latu Devta held by all in great reverence. The main intention behind this trek was to see the Beautiful BEDNI Bughyal and BEDNI KUND.However the water of kind was all dried up but the ancient twin idols of MAHISHASHURMARDINI was a blessing. Even localities are not aware of how these idols were placed in BEDNI KUND.
ROOPKUND (considered the mother of all mysteries due to the presence of large number of Human skeletons)at a staggering height of 5000 mts above sea level continues to be a favourite among trekkers and an important location for MAA NANDA DEVI RAJJAT YATA .
Research conducted points to a legendary event where people were killed in a violent hailstorm in 9 th century.
