The Vishnu temple of Badrinath, situated 298 km from Rishikesh and 48 km from Joshimath, is a sacred pilgrimage site located at an altitude of 3,133 meters. This holy town, once covered by the mythical forest of Badrivan, is home to a shrine originally built by the 9th-century saint Shankara. The temple, standing 15 meters tall with a gilded cupola, has been reconstructed multiple times due to damage from avalanches. Its brightly painted exteriors, refreshed annually, contrast sharply with the grey buildings and rugged mountain slopes around it, resembling a Tibetan gompa from afar. Below the temple are the Tapt Kund and Surya Kund, natural hot springs where pilgrims bathe before entering the shrine. The ancient village of Badrinath lies just to the south, adding a touch of history to the spiritual experience.
Badrinath’s surroundings offer additional attractions for pilgrims and explorers. Govindghat, 24 km away, marks the confluence of the Alaknanda and Lakshmanganga rivers and serves as the entry point to the enchanting Valley of Flowers and the revered Sikh shrine, Hemkund Sahib. The Vasuki Tal, located 8 km away at 4,135 meters, provides stunning vistas. The region is also home to the Panch Badri, five sacred shrines including the Bhavishya Badri, believed to become the future Badrinath shrine. Visitors are advised to be cautious of impostors posing as seers, who may attempt to exploit their faith for personal gain. By staying vigilant, travelers can ensure a safe and spiritually fulfilling journey to this divine destination.
