Badarinath or Badarinarayana Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu. It is situated in the town of Badrinath in Uttarakhand, India. The temple is also one of the 108 Divya Desams dedicated to Vishnu-holy shrines for Vaishnavas-who is worshipped as Badrinath. It is open for six months every year (between the end of April and the beginning of November), because of extreme weather conditions in the Himalayan region. The temple is located in Garhwal hill tracks in Chamoli district along the banks of Alaknanda River. It is one of the most visited pilgrimage centers of India, having recorded 2.8 million (28 lakh) visits in just 2 months in 2022. It is one of the Char Dham pilgrimage sites.
The temple is mentioned in ancient religious texts like Vishnu Purana and Skanda Purana. It is glorified in the Naalayira Divya Prabandham, an early medieval Tamil canon of the Alvar saints from the 6th-9th centuries CE.
The architecture of the Badrinath Temple is an example of the North Indian architectural style, which is known for its intricate carvings and paintings. The temple is built of large stone slabs and features a multi-tiered roof, with a shikhara tower that rises above the main sanctum. The entrance to the temple is through a large arched gateway, which is adorned with intricate carvings and sculptures. The walls and pillars of the temple are also decorated with elaborate carvings, depicting scenes from Hindu mythology, as well as floral and geometric patterns.
The temple is built in such a way that it faces the east, towards the rising sun, which is considered an auspicious direction in Hinduism. The inner sanctum, where the deity of Lord Vishnu is placed, is covered by a heavy curtain and is only accessible to priests and special devotees. The temple also has a deep and narrow well, called the Tapt Kund, which is considered to have therapeutic properties and is used for ritual purification by devotees.
