With a long track of 30 km - or in 5 hours walking - visitors arrive to a small sacred town, where a complex of temples stands on the edge of the Kali Gandaki. The main temple, devoted to Rishi Keshab Bhagwan, was founded by Mukunda Sen I in the th century. The idol, carved in a shaligram, would have grown over time to reach the size of a man. Other sanctuaries nest in caves. Ridi is a place known to be cremated because popular belief claims that the ashes of the dead are transformed into shaligram, the fossils which are incarnations of Vishnu.
