Badrinath
Opening Dates
04 May 2025 to 06 Nov 2025 (Tentative)
The opening and closing of the Badrinath Temple regularly follow the Hindu liturgical calendar and seasonal surroundings. The Char Dham Yatra season usually launches on Akshaya Tritiya, the lucky day between late April and early May, when the temple opens. Priests, pilgrims, and local devotees attend the opening ceremony, a major event that unlocks the temple gates after a six-month winter shutdown. Usually two days following Diwali (late October or early November), the closing of the temple takes place during Bhai Dooj and follows an equally deep farewell ritual. The place is covered in snow and inaccessible during the winter; hence, the idol of Lord Badrinarayan is formally moved to Joshimath, where devotion carries on all year. Usually publicized ahead of time, the precise dates vary yearly depending on Hindu astrologer and temple official calculations. Usually they arrive one month or more before Akshaya Tritiya. Considering the extremely seasonal access to the temple, pilgrims would do well to schedule their visit for these days. Visiting during the designated open hours ensures that pilgrims can participate in darshan, ceremonies, and other religious events held at the temple.

Winter Worship in Joshimath—During the closed season, Joshimath hosts Lord Badrinarayan while prayers go on all winter.
