Rudrapur is a famous town in Uttarakhand. Rudrapur is well- known for the Atariya Goddess temple. The temple has an interesting legend behind its origin.
The tribal king Rudra, after which the town has received its name, was passing through this town.
The wheel of Rudra's chariot got jammed into the marshy lands of the town. He decided to build a well and a temple on this land. Thus he built the Atariya Temple.
