OTHER FOUR BADRIS

YOGADHYAN BADRI

The temple of Yogadhyan Badri, one of the five Badris, is located at Pandukeshwar (1920 mt) just 24 km short of Badrinath on Rishikesh-Badrinath highway. The image here in a meditative posture, is worshipped at Badrinath. According to the myth, the Pandavas handed over Hastinapur to king Parikshit and retired here.

BHAVISHYA BADRI

The temple of Bhavishya Badri is at an elevation of 2,744 mt and is surrounded by dense forests. Located at Subain near tapovan about 17 km east of Joshimath on Joshimath – Lata – Malari route. Pilgrims have to trek beyond Tapovan, up the Dhauliganga river.

Tapovan has sulphurous hot springs and the view of the Tapovan valley towards the north is breathtakingly. Traditionally it is believed that a day will come when the present route will be inaccessible and Lord Badrinath will be worshipped here. Thus the name Bhavishya Badri which literally means the Badri of the future.
