Badrinath Temple
About Badrinath Temple
Badrinath Temple stands as one of the 108 Divya Desams and a cornerstone of Vaishnavite worship, where devotees revere Vishnu in his Badrinath form. Located in Chamoli district at high altitude in the Garhwal region, the temple is believed to have been established by Adi Guru Shankaracharya. Due to severe Himalayan weather conditions, the shrine operates seasonally from late April through early November, closing during winter months when the deity is ceremonially moved to Joshimath. The temple recorded 2.8 million visits in just two months during 2022, reflecting its immense spiritual significance. Management falls under the Shri Badarinath Kedarnath Temple Committee, constituted in 1939, which oversees both this temple and the adjacent Kedarnath shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva.
