Badrinath Temple to Close for Winter on November 25
The Badrinath temple, a sacred place in the Himalayas, will soon close for the winter.
The closure time, 2:56 PM, was decided after a religious ceremony on Vijayadashami.
The temple, along with Kedarnath and Yamunotri, shuts down because of the cold and snow, and reopens in the spring.
This closure happens every year and impacts the local economy that relies on the travel of visitors.
The Badrinath temple will close for the winter season on November 25.
The closure time is 2:56 pm.
The decision was made after a puja on Vijayadashami.
The closure is due to heavy snowfall and cold weather.
The Chardham Yatra, which includes Badrinath, is a key part of the state's economy.
