BADRI BHAVISHYA
BADRINATH
The future Badri
is located at 2,744 mts. amidst the thick forests surrounding Tapovan.
According to a divination, it is here that all devotees will throng once
Badrinath is no more. While there can be no conceivable reason why this
should happen, scientists agree that Joshimath, the entry point into the
area befare the final, most strenuous climb, is sited on an ancient
landslide and has been sinking, and with a barrage coming up close by, may
actually see the fulfillment of the divine prophecy.
But whatever
happens, Bhavishya Badri is popular even now. Enshrined here is the
lion-headed image of Narsingh. Visitors pass the serene Tapovan a place
known for its hot water springs en route to the banks of the Dhauliganga,
and on to the shrine.
