Badrinath, the sacred Himalayan Temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu, will be reopened for devotees on April 30 this year. The shrine is open every year for about six months, before closing down for winters as the entire region gets snowbound.
The temple gates will be opened ceremoniously amidst chanting of Vedic hymns at 4:30 AM on April 30.
The temple opens for pilgrims and tourists during the months of April-May and shuts down by mid-November. However, the daily rituals continue at the Narasimha Temple in Joshimath.
