One of the four Dhams visited by Hindu devotees and holiest of them all-Badrinath is surrounded by two mountain ranges of Nar and Narayan on two sides with Neelkanth peak on the backdrop. Located on the right bank of river Alaknanda, Badrinath, the temple town is in the Garhwal region of Uttaranchal state. Sri Shankaracharya founded a Math here in 8th century AD and a legend says that the temple dates back to the Vedic era. Known as tapobhoomi and Baikunth (heaven on earth) it is famous for the temple of god Vishnu -the preserver. Staunch Hindu devotees seeking salvation unconditionally visit it. Destination India Tourism takes you to this heaven on earth through its on line booking.
