Summary
[edit]Description005242023 Adi Badri group of temples, Uttarakhand 016.jpg |
English: The Adi Badri temples, also called the Adibadri Dham, are a group of sixteen stone temples in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand state of India. They are one of the five sites on the ancient Hindu pilgrimage route called the Panch Badri that includes Badrinath (Vishal Badri), Dhyan Badri, Bhavisya Badri, Yog Badri. The Adi Badri temples are also near the route of Panch Prayag that includes Devprayag, Rudraprayag, Karnprayag (about 18 kilometers from Adi Badri), Nandprayag and Vishnuprayag. These pilgrimage routes are linked to the Himalayan river sources that merge and form some of the major rivers of north India including Ganga and Yamuna. The sites range from about 800 meters to 4400 meters in altitude, some accessible after lengthy treks, all with scenic views.
The Adi Badri temples are linked to the Vishnu tradition of Hinduism. Two of 16 temples are lost, and the complex now has remains of 14 small temples illustrating several architecture and designs from the Gupta era to 12th century period. The seven simple temples with flat roof are from the late Gupta era. Local legends revere that the site was expanded by the Kerala-born, Advaita Hindu philosopher Adi Shankara. The main temple is a pyramidal structure that sits on a raised jagati (platform). It is dedicated to Vishnu. The other temples are subsidiary shrines dedicated to Shiva, Durga, Ganesha, Surya, Annapurna, Lakshminarayana, Satyanarayana, Parbrahma, Janaki, Garuda and others. The complex thus reveres all major Hindu traditions. This site should not be confused with the historic Adi Badri site in Haryana. |
