Badrinath: The Nar, Narayan and Neelkanth peaks seem to engulf the sacred shrine at Badrinath, shielding its spiritual potency from the chaos of the world beyond the mountains. No wonder thousands throng in large multitudes every season to avail Lord Badrinarayan blessings. The land is said to have been covered in a Badri forest, a forest of jujube trees, in the bygone days.

The whimsical moods of Mother Nature at Kedarnath is quite famous. One is therefore advised to finish the darshan within 1.5 hours and return to the helipad.

Kedarnath: What better than the regal mountain ranges of Kedarnath to form the perfect backdrop for the Lord of Kedar Khand to reside in? Lord Shiva, the Omniscient, omnipotent Protector and destroyer of the cosmos, resides in one of his beautiful jyotirlingas in this beautiful shrine. Kedarnath also forms an indispensable part of the Panch Kedar, another pilgrimage conglomeration for the Shaivite bhakths. An interesting legend connects all these holy shrines. Apparently, Lord Shiva eluded Pandavas seeking his forgiveness for their committed mistakes in Kurukshetra by taking a form of a bull. When Pandavas figured out the Lord’s Leela, the different parts of the bull’s body appeared in different holy spots. The hump at Kedarnath, arms at Tungnath, its head near Kapaleeshwar, face at Rudranath and belly near Madhmaheswar.
