Badrinath,
a citadel to Lord Vishnu, situated at a height
of 3,155 m is the place where Vishnu, Ganga, Saraswathi
and Alaknanda confluence. Build in early ninth
century AD, Badrinath is one of the most revered
Hindu shrines of India dedicated to Lord Vishnu.
It is also one of the four Dhams restored by Adi
Shankaracharya in an effort to unify the country,
along with Kancheepuram in Tamil Nadu in the south,
Dwarkapuri in the west and Jagannath Puri in the
east (Sringeri mutt in Karnataka state is also
claimed to be the fourth peetha).
Lakshmi, the consort of Vishnu loved Badri trees
that were found in plenty in the area, hence the
name Badrinath. It is also known as 'Tapobhumi',
the land of meditation and penance and 'Bhubaikunth'
(heaven on earth). |
