A Temple: Where is Rahu worshipped

Many unique temples in India are famous in the country and abroad.  But have you ever heard of such a temple in which the demon is worshipped?  Today we will tell you about one such temple in which Rahu is worshipped.
The nectar that came out during the churning of the ocean was drunk by the demon Swarabhanu.  After which, Lord Vishnu severed his head from the body.  But he had drunk the nectar, so he did not die, and his body became two parts which are today known as Rahu and Ketu.  The head of the demon Swarabhanu is called Rahu, and its trunk is called Ketu.  There is a temple in Paithani village of Pauri district of Uttarakhand in which Rahu is worshipped.  There are many beliefs related to this temple.
It is said that this temple was built by Adi Shankaracharya himself.  When he was traveling to the Himalayas from the south, at that time, he realized the influence of Rahu in this place, so he built a temple of Rahu at this place, and Lord Shiva is also worshiped in this temple.
It is mentioned in the mythology that when Lord Vishnu had beheaded a demon named Swarabhanu from Sudarshan, his head had fallen at this place; hence the temple of Rahu was built at this place.  This temple is one such temple in which the idol of Rahu Griha is produced along with the model of Lord Shankar.  The carvings made in this temple are a center of attraction in them.  Rahu's severed head and Lord Vishnu's Sudarshan Chakra have been made in this temple.  Many scholars also believe that the Shivling in this temple was established by Rahu himself.
