1st - My-Trip-To-Devbhoomi-Uttrakhand
After visiting Shri Kedarnath Dham and having darshan of Lord Shiva, we leave from Gaurikund in our cab on the night of 19th September. The next stop of our journey was Shri Badrinath Dham, on the evening of 20th we are in Badrinath Dham. Next morning we go to Shri Badrinath Temple to see the idol of Lord Vishnu.
Information about the temple and location is given below.
This divine Shri Badrinath temple is situated on the banks of Alaknanda River in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. According to the Puranas, in ancient times Lord Shiva used to meditate here but one day Lord Vishnu came here to meditate at this place.Lord Shri Hari Vishnu was engrossed in meditation and was completely covered with snow, so seeing him in this state, Goddess Lakshmi felt sad. Goddess Lakshmi took the form of a plum tree and started bearing all the snowfall on herself. From Dwapara Yuga, people started seeing the idol of Lord Vishnu here.
The present temple was renovated by Adi Guru Shankaracharya in the 8th century.
This Temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu , It is one of the 108 holy places dedicated to Lord Vishnu.This temple remains closed from November to March due to heavy snowfall and people get to see the idol between April and November.There is a hot pond near Shri Badrinath Dham on the banks of river Alaknanda from where a stream of hot water flows. Devotees go for darshan after taking bath in it.After seeing the idol of Lord Vishnu, a wonderful peace is provided to the mind.Here you can go by car and after walking some distance you will reach the temple. Helicopter facility is also available here.

To reach here, you will get trains from Haridwar and Rishikesh. It is cold here, so these people wear woolen clothes only. After going about 3 kilometers further from here, there is a village named Mana , which is a frontier village of India, where you will also find India’s first tea shop. On the other side of the mountains, there is Chinese occupation. While going to Kedarnath, the Pandavas had made a path by placing a stone here, which is today known as Bhimpul. Here, the path made by the Pandavas to go to heaven is also called Swargarohini. Here is the origin of Saraswati river which merges into the earth after a few meters. I don’t have more pictures here. If there are any mistakes, please let me know.
