Situated close to the Alaknanda River, the abode of Lord Badrinath is located in the Chamoli district, a small town of Badrinath (Uttarakhand). This holy shrine of Lord Vishnu forms a part of the four holiest sites (Char Dhams) in Hindu religion. It is also one of the four Chota Char Dham pilgrimage sites (comparatively minor pilgrimage sites). It is one of the 108 temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu (Divya Desams), which find mention in the works of Tamil saints who existed from 6th to 9th century.
The
ancient abode of Lord Vishnu can be visited only between April to November as
in the rest of the months the weather is too harsh for undertaking a pilgrimage
journey. Two of the famous festivals related to the temple are –
Mata
Murti Ka Mela – in
which the mother of Lord Badrinath is worshiped and it takes place in the month of September.
Badri Kedar
Festival – extending
to 8 days, it takes place in the month of June and is celebrated in both the
temples of Badrinath and Kedarnath.
