The temple of Lord Badrinath opens only for six months in a year
The temple of Lord Badrinath opens only for six months in a year for the darshan of his devotees and remains closed for the whole six months due to heavy snowfall.
A lamp is lit in front of Lord Badri Vishal of Badrinath Temple which never extinguishes. Not even when this temple is closed for six months.
Every year the oil used for the coating of the idol of Lord Bradinath and for the continuous burning of the lamp is extracted by the married women in the palace of Tehri. The special thing is that the whole process of oil extraction is under the leadership of the Queen of Tehri.
It is believed that the statue of Lord Bridi Vishal in Badrinath Dham with meditation posture is made of Shaligram rock. Which was once thrown into Naradkund by the Buddhists. But later on, Adi Shankaracharya found him with his yogic power and got him re-established in the temple by the rules and regulations. Along with this, Jyotirmath was established for its continuous worship and protection.
