About Badrinath Dham
Situated at an altitude of 3,133 meters, Shree Badrinath Temple is surrounded by the Nar and Narayan mountain ranges, with the Alaknanda River nearby. The temple’s architecture, featuring a façade and gold-gilded roof, adds to its aura.
The temple is known for Tapt Kund, a hot water spring believed to have medicinal properties. Pilgrims take a dip before entering. Another significant spot is Brahma Kapal, where rituals for ancestors are performed.
According to mythology, Lord Vishnu meditated here under a Badri tree, and Goddess Lakshmi took the form of a berry tree. Pilgrims believe visiting Badrinath grants salvation.
