Key points about Badrinath:
- Religious Importance: Badrinath Temple is one of the holiest temples in Hinduism, and it holds significant importance among devotees. It is believed to be established by Adi Shankaracharya during the 8th century. The temple enshrines a black stone idol of Lord Vishnu in a meditative posture.
- Pilgrimage Journey: To reach Badrinath, pilgrims usually start their journey from Rishikesh or Haridwar and proceed to Joshimath. From Joshimath, they travel to Badrinath, which is approximately 42 kilometers (26 miles) away. The temple is situated along the banks of the Alaknanda River at an altitude of about 3,133 meters (10,279 feet) above sea level.
- Weather: Badrinath experiences a cold and temperate climate due to its high altitude location in the Garhwal Himalayan range. The temple remains open for pilgrims only during the summer months, typically from late April to early November. During the winter season, the region remains snowbound and inaccessible.
- Panch Badri: Badrinath is part of the Panch Badri pilgrimage circuit, which consists of five sacred temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu in different forms. The other four Badri temples are Adi Badri, Vridha Badri, Bhavishya Badri, and Yogadhyan Badri.
- Festivals: Several festivals are celebrated at Badrinath Temple, attracting thousands of devotees. The most famous festival is the Badri-Kedar festival, which marks the closing of the temples in the region for the winter season.
- Natural Beauty: Besides its religious significance, Badrinath is known for its breathtaking natural beauty. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, lush green valleys, and the Alaknanda River flowing nearby, the region offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere.
Pilgrims visit Badrinath with great reverence and devotion, seeking blessings and spiritual upliftment. The journey to Badrinath is not just a religious endeavor but also a memorable experience, providing an opportunity to connect with nature and immerse in the divinity of the sacred place.
