Vyas Gaddi

Vyas Gaddi Naimisharanya, one of the most important tourist destinations in Naimisharanya is Vyas Gaddi, the ancient banyan tree that serves as the residence of Ved Vyas or Krishna Dwapayan.

Ved Vyas recited the Hindu scriptures, including the Vedas, Shastras, and Puranas, under this venerable tree. This ancient tree, which is thought to be around 5000 years old, may be traced back to the time of the Mahabharata.

It is known as Vyas Gaddi, where Gaddi is Hindi for “seat,” because Ved Vyas loved to sit under this tree. A tiny temple honouring Ved Vyas can be found at this well-known tourist destination in Naimisharanya. There are triangular mounds of clothing inside the temple that stand in for the presiding god.

The informational boards at this Hindu holy place in Uttar Pradesh are intriguing. They include details about the texts that were written there. Other well-known Naimisharanya pilgrimage locations surround the shrine. The Sri Satyanarayana Vratha Katha was first told by Vyasa at the holy location of Vyas Gaddi, which is another reason for its fame.
