One of India’s most sacred pilgrimage locations, Badrinath Dham is one of the Char Dhams and is situated at a height of 3,133 meters above sea level. It was built by Adi Shankaracharya in the eighth century AD and is said to have roots in the prehistoric Vedic era. Rudra Pratap upgraded the temple and erected a fresh shrine in the 17th century. Amar Singh, the king of Jaipur, constructed the current shrine in the 19th century. One of the main Hindu deities, Lord Vishnu, is said to reside at Badrinath, which is devoted to Lord Vishnu in his guise as Badrinarayan. It is renowned for its stunning vistas and wonderful landscape as well.
On April 27, the authorities announced on Thursday that the portals of the Badrinath temple in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district will open at 7:10. The Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee stated that, in accordance with tradition, the time and date for the famous temple’s opening were chosen at a religious ceremony held at the former Tehri royal palace on the occasion of Basant Panchami.
According to the committee, proper traditions and customs will be followed when opening the gates. The shrine is one of the four historic pilgrimage sites known as the “Char Dham,” along with Yamunotri, Gangotri, and Kedarnath. In the Uttarakhand region, it is located in Badrinath town. Every year, it’s open for six months.
It is also said that the “Gaadu Ghada” (oil pitcher) yatra will start on April 12. Every year, prior to the Himalayan temple’s opening, a pitcher filled with sesame oil is brought there as part of the Yatra. The portals of Badrinath, a temple dedicated to the Hindu deity Vishnu, were closed for the winter season on November 19. It remains covered in snow all winter and reopens at the beginning of summer.
One of the four pilgrimage sites known as “Char Dham” is the Badrinath shrine. The other locations included in the quartet are Yamunotri, Gangotri, and Kedarnath.
