About the temple

Jyotir Math in Joshimath is one of four cardinal monasteries established by Adi Shankara to preserve Advaita Vedanta philosophy, serving as the northern seat of spiritual authority. The shrine draws devotees through the day for darshan and aarti, with the atmosphere reaching its peak during the evening rituals and on festival days when special pujas are performed.
