Complete Guide about Badrinath
Badrinath
One of the Char Dhams (four significant pilgrimage sites) in the state of Uttarakhand is the Badrinath Temple, also known as the Badrinarayan Temple, which is situated in Badrinath town. Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath are the four pilgrimage sites that make up the Char Dham. These pilgrimage sites gather a sizable number of travellers each year, making them the most significant centres for religious travel in all of Northern India.
Badrinath is situated at a height of roughly 3,100 metres. This holy village is found in the Garhwal Himalayas on the Alaknanda river’s banks, sandwiched between the Nar and Narayana mountain ranges. Adi Shankaracharya, a sage, is thought to have founded the temple in the eighth century. The temple, which has Lord Vishnu as its presiding deity, is open for six months out of the year. Due to the amount of snowfall throughout the winter, it is inaccessible.
