Uttaranchal Temples >> Badrinath Temple |
Thousands travel to Garhwal every year,
worshippers on pilgrimages come here to realize their
God, climbers with mountaineering and trekking on their
minds, mavericks with river running in their blood,
skiers to get the adrenaline pumping and academicians
to propound new theories on mankind! You can find your
own interpretation, your own Garhwal headspace to retreat
into when you need some soul food.
Garhwal is often called devbhumi or the abode of gods.
Every inch of this land is steeped in mythology and
every glade has its story. The reason is not far to
seek as the Ganga and the Yamuna – the alpha and
omega of the Indian psyche – have their origin
here.
