DID YOU KNOW?

THE BADRINATH TEMPLE OPENS ON THE FIRST WEEK OF MAY AND CLOSES ON THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER. BEFORE THE CLOSING OF THE TEMPLE, THE PRIESTS LIGHT A LAMP BEFORE THE IDOL IN THE SANCTUM. IT IS BELIEVED THAT DURING THIS TIME PERIOD, NARAD MUNI WHO ATTAINED SALVATION HERE, CONTINUES HIS PRAYER SERVICES. THIS BELIEF IS REINFORCED BY THE FACT THAT THE LAMP IS STILL SEEN FLICKERING WHEN THE TEMPLE IS REOPENED AFTER SIX MONTHS.
