Badrinath

Badrinath, one of the four Dhams, is very close to nature. The mountains around and the snowfall occurring here fascinate the people.

But more than being a famous tourist destination, Badrinath Dham has now become the center of people's deep faith. In this temple of Badrinath, people immersed in devotion arrive to take blessings of Lord Vishnu. The Skanda Purana glorifies the holy town of Badrinath as being holier than all other shrines that exist in heaven and hell. Goddess Lakshmi protected Lord Vishnu in the form of the Badri tree. Pleased by the devotion of Goddes Lakshmi, Lord Vishnu named the place Badrinath.

The temple is located on the banks of the Alaknanda River near the town of Badrinath in Uttarakhand. Being the busiest and ancient temple of India, lakhs of pilgrims come here every year.

It is believed that a visit to Kedarnath is incomplete without a visit to Badrinath.

Therefore, pilgrims traveling to Kedarnath first go to Badrinath. Nestled amidst the Garhwal region, the height of this temple is 3133 meters.
