On the bank of River Gandak,the exact location where the epic Gaj(Elephant)& Grah(Crocodile) yuddha (war) took place ,is HARIHARNATH TEMPLE.As the name depicts, HARI means VISHNU & HAR means MAHADEV SHANKAR ,this Temple is twin Gods Temple.Asia fame fair biggest mela is held during Kartik Purnima almost in the month of November every year.

Recently visited the Harihar Nath Temple in Sonpur Bihar. You can see lord Vishnu and lore Shiva together. It was an awesome experience. It is 2 hour journey from Patna. The temple is less crowded in the morning..

I loved to visit this place. This is only temple in India among Hindu where Lord shiva & Lord vishnu form are located. A very famous & world largest trade of animal are here.This fair have need some government help for renovation of this fair and advertise about this fair at world level as well as India level. Earlier 100+ foreigners came to visited this fair. But today only 20+ foreigners come because of Government negligence.

Hariharnath TempleHariharnath Mandir in Sonpur is also known for the famous temple of shree Hariharnath and the site of the battle of Gaj-Grah and rescue of the former by Hari During Kartik Purnima Ganga Snan or ceremonial bathing in the Ganges is held by Hindus to be unusually efficacious. On the day of full moon (Kartik Purnima) immense crowd assembles and take bath. The Mela commences on that day and lasts for more than a fortnight. The Shiva temple, Kali temple and other temples and historical religious monuments are situated here and social and economical activities are at the highest peak during the Mela period. People come here to pay their oblation to the lords and thus its importance is not within Sonpur of Bihar rather it is of India and world fame.Baba Hariharnath:An ancient and great temple of Lord Siva and Lord Vishnu.This temple is made in the holy area Hariharkshetra where a great animal fair named Sonpur fair or Hariharshetra fair gets organised every year in the Hindi month of Kartika. It is believed that the temple of Harihar Nath was built by Lord Rama on his way to court of King Janak to win the hand of Mata Sita and later repaired by Raja Man Singh. Finally Raja Ram Narain further modified the temple during the late Mughal period.These days, Sonepur fair also called Harihar Kshetra Mela is administered by District of Chapra with support from Bihar Govt. and promoted by the Tourism Ministry of Bihar. The administration also arranges health and welfare camps, sanitation, drinking water facilities for the visitors.History, story of Harihar nath temple in Bihar:History and story of Harihar nath temple in sonepur Bihar can be found here. Harihar Nath temple in Bihar was built by Lord Rama, while going in the swayambar of Sita Mata. People perform puja at harihar nath temple when to come to sonepur mela and take dip in holy rive at the meeting place of ganga and Gandak.Story, legend Gajendhra Moksha and Harihar nath temple:You might have heard the story of Gajendhra Moksha, in your childhood days. If you have not here is the Gajendhra Moksha story. As per the legend of Gajendhra Moksha, king Indrayamuna and the Gandharva chief Huhu, were turned into an elephant and a crocodile respectively by sages Agasthya and Dewala muni. One day the elephants leg was caught by the crocodile. The elephant tried to free himself of the hold for many years but could not do so. Finally he prayed to Lord Vishnu to save him. Lord Vishnu freed the elephant from crocodile hold by cutting him with his Chakra. At that time both of them were also released from the curse of the sage and Lord Vishnu took the gajendra with himself to vaikuntha.

Hariharnath temple is dedicated to Sanatan Dharmas Vaishnav and Shaiv sects together. Which is an unique thing in itself where carer of the world Hari (हरि) and destroyer Har (हर) is worshipped as one. Hari_har_nath the name itself is self descriptive. Temple went through renovation so part old part new. Temple has a police station. Common practice of mobbing the visitor or pilgrim isnt common here.
