Badrinath is a sacred Hindu pilgrimage site in Uttarakhand, India, dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It is one of the Char Dham and Chota Char Dham yatra destinations. Situated at 3,300 meters above sea level, the temple was established by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century. According to legend, Lord Vishnu meditated here in deep penance. The temple remains open from May to November due to extreme winters. The Alaknanda River flows beside it, adding to its divine aura. Badrinath attracts thousands of devotees yearly, seeking blessings and spiritual peace in the majestic Himalayas.
