Lord Badrinarayan
Lord Badrinarayan is a revered deity in Hinduism, particularly in the Vaishnavism tradition. He is considered an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who is worshipped as the preserver and protector of the universe. The name "Badrinarayan" is derived from the sacred site of Badrinath, located in the Himalayas, where he is believed to have manifested in the form of a black stone idol.
The temple at Badrinath is one of the four sacred shrines in the Char Dham pilgrimage, attracting thousands of devotees each year. Lord Badrinarayan is often depicted seated in a meditative posture, symbolizing peace and spiritual enlightenment. His worship emphasizes devotion, righteousness, and the importance of seeking divine guidance.
