BADARINATH
The Himalayan abode of Sri Maha Vishnu

Matsya Purana traces an interesting account that Mitra and Varuna did penance in this holy place and achieved their object. King Pandu, father of Pancha Pandavas performed penance here to expiate the sin of killing a deer. Uddhava was advised by Sri Krishna to do penance in this place, when Dwaraka was about to be submerged in the ocean. It is on this sacred stage, many interesting and awe-inspiring episodes connected with the lives of heavenly personages were enacted and they are soaked in divinity. Convinced with such spectacular glorious history, devout Hindus ',evince keen interest to visit it at least once in their lives even at the cost of precious lives.
