Badrinath| Village within the mountainous region of northern India, situated on the right bank of the River Alaknanda, one of 12 channels of the Ganges, and a main site of pilgrimage in Hinduism. The village is renowned for the Badrinath temple, and for naturally-occurring sulphur springs. The temple stands 3,050 m/10,000 ft above sea level and reflects evidence of architectural influence from Tibet and Nepal. |
| Bathing in the hot sulphur springs is believed to offer spiritual cleansing to pilgrims as well as being medically beneficial. |
