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.
