How To Reach Badrinath Temple
Joshimath, Uttarakhand, India
The Badrinath Temple (Winter Idol) refers not to the main temple in Badrinath (which closes in winter), but to the revered deity, Lord Badri Vishal (Lord Vishnu), who is ceremonially brought down and housed in the Narsingh Temple (or Narasimha Temple) in Joshimath for the six harsh winter months. Th e Narsingh Temple itself is an ancient and highly sacred Hindu shrine, one of the four Mathas established by Adi Guru Shankaracharya in the 8th century AD, which collectively give Joshimath its spiritual name, Jyotirmath. This temple is dedicated to Lord Narasimha, the fourth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, depicted in a half-man, half-lion form. The ritualistic transfer of the idol of Lord Badri Vishal (Uddhav and Kuber deities are also moved) is a centuries-old tradition that allows pilgrims to continue their worship even when the main temple becomes inaccessible due to heavy snowfall. The main idol in the Narsingh Temple is of Lord Narasimha, which, according to a local prophecy from the Sanath Samhita, has a right arm that is slowly withering away. It is believed that when this arm finally falls off, the mountains of Jay and Vijay near Badrinath will collapse, blocking the path to the original shrine, and the worship of Lord Badrinath will then permanently shift to Bhavishya Badri.
