Badrinath Dham
Badrinath Dham

Nestled gracefully between the twin mountain ranges of Nar and Narayana, Badrinath Dham stands as one of the most revered spiritual sanctuaries in Hinduism. Sitting at an altitude of approximately 3,133 meters (10,279 feet) above sea level in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, this holy shrine forms an integral part of both the Chota Char Dham circuit in Uttarakhand and the overarching All India Char Dham pilgrimage.The sanctum sanctorum houses a 1-meter-tall black stone image (Saligram) of Lord Vishnu as Badrinarayan, depicted sitting in a meditative posture (Padmasana). According to spiritual belief, the thermal springs of Tapt Kund located just below the temple possess medicinal properties and serve as a purifying ritual site before pilgrims enter the main temple complex.
