The Badrinath Yatra is a sacred pilgrimage to one of Hinduism’s holiest shrines, the Badrinath Temple, situated at a breathtaking altitude of 11,268 ft on the banks of the Alaknanda River. Nestled between the snow-capped Nar and Narayan peaks of the Himalayas, the temple radiates spiritual serenity and awe-inspiring natural beauty.
Opening Date: 24 April 2026 (Tentative) — the sacred Kapat opening ceremony marks the start of the pilgrimage season.
Closing Date: 13 November 2026 (Tentative) — the temple closes for the winter season after Vijayadashami / Dussera rituals.
Note: Final dates are confirmed by the Badri‑Kedar Temple Committee based on traditional astrological considerations and may vary slightly each year.
Kapat Opening Ceremony (Temple Opening)
On the opening day (around late April), a grand traditional ceremony is held — the idol of Lord Badri Vishal is brought back from its winter abode in Narasimha Temple (Joshimath) with Vedic chants, devotional processions, and rituals. Following this, Maha Abhishek, Akhand Jyoti puja, Alankara darshan, and Vishnu Sahasranama Path take place before the temple opens for general devotees.
It is believed that Adi Shankaracharya (8th century) established the temple and installed the idol of Lord Vishnu, making it a center of devotion and divine energy. Surrounding the temple are several thermal springs such as Tapta Kund, Narad Kund, and Surya Kund, renowned for their religious and remedial significance.
The Badrinath Yatra is not only a journey of devotion to Lord Vishnu but also a spiritual opportunity for pilgrims to perform Pitra Tarpan – offering oblations to departed ancestors, thereby seeking their blessings. This sacred expedition combines devotion, mythology, and the tranquil Himalayan landscape, making it a life-transforming experience for every devotee.
