The Badrinath Temple

TEMPLES OF INDIA

Situated near the Alaknanda River,  Badrinath Temple, dedicated to Bhagwan Sri Vishnu, is in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, India . It is one of the Char Dhams of Hindu religion.

Char Dham are the sacred temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu or his incarnations (avatars). The four sacred places are in Badrinath(Uttarakgand) Rameshwaram (Tamilnadu), Puri (Orissa) and Dwarka (Gujarat).

Adi Shankaracharya was the driving force behind the preeminence of these four temples of incarnations of Bhagwan Shri Vishnu

The Temple is open for only six months every year (between the end of April and the beginning of November), because of extreme weather conditions in the Himalayan region.
