Uttarakhand is popularly known for its religious importance and the state is called “Dev Bhoomi”. Badrinath is one of the Chardham which is located in the state of Uttarakhand.

The temple opens on the last week of April or first week of May and closes after two days of Diwali on the day of Bhai Duj. Every year during the month of May thousands of the devotee visit Badrinath. Joshimath is the winter seat of Shri Badrinath ji.

According to the legend it is believed that Pandawas established the temple by Adi Shankracharya was found this temple in 9th century. In the Alaknanda River a Black Shaligram idol was found in the Alaknanda River by the Adi Shankracharya. This is the place where Lord Badri was meditated and his wife Goddess Lakshmi protected him from cold and heat to convert herself into a berry tree. The other 15 idols are also made of Black marble which is situated inside the temple complex. The idol of Lord Vishnu which was found in the Alaknanda River is in the meditation posture and flanked by the Nar and Narayan.
