It is believed that the remains of the ashes of the divine marriage is still in the kund along with divine fire. The believers offer woods and logs to the kunds that contain the fire. Those who desire to make their nuptial ties strong and want to remain peaceful throughout their conjugal lives they take the blessings of the kund through ashes. Triyuginarayan is the kund that features all the mythological significance associated with the heavenly wedding. Apart from the main kund the travelers will also find three more kunds– the Brahmakund, Vishnu Kund and Rudrakund.
