Badrinath Temple - TOP TEN POWERFUL TEMPLES IN INDIA
Badrinath Temple stands as a sacred beacon for millions of devotees located in Uttarakhand’s Garhwal Himalayas. This holy shrine which is dedicated to Hindu Lord Vishnu is one of the Char Dham pilgrimage sites and holds immense significance in Hindu mythology. Adi Shankara founded the temple in the ninth century, giving it a history that traces back over a thousand years.
Standing at 3,133 meters (10,279 feet) above sea level, Badrinath opens its doors to pilgrims every year in May and remains open until November. The imposing structure is built in the traditional Garhwali wooden architecture and exudes a divine aura against the backdrop of snow-capped peaks.
The temple receives hundreds of thousands of visitors on average each year, making it a popular destination. The colorful Badrinath Yatra, which begins in Haridwar, crosses challenging terrain, contributing to the holiness of the spiritual pilgrimage. Pilgrims immerse themselves in religious fervor, seeking blessings and participating in the ceremonies that have been carried out for centuries.
