The most important temple of Goddess Ganga is also the second shrine among the Chardham, Gangotri. It is the highest temple devoted to Ganga. Although the source of the Ganges, the Gaumukh glacier, is a further 18 km, Gangotri is worshipped as the origin of the Ganga because of the almost inaccessible nature of Gaumukh. The place is of great importance in Hindu Mythology and offers great scenic vistas of gushing water, rugged terrain and snow-clad peaks.

 

Badrinath temple is a part of not only the Chardham of Uttarakhand but also the major Chatham of India. The name Badrinath is formed from two words: "Badri" refers to a blueberry believed to grow abundantly in this region in ancient times and "Nath" refers to Lord Vishnu. It is said in Hindu Mythology that Lord Vishnu did a long penance here and Goddess Lakshmi took the form of berries of the colour blue to protect him from the harsh climate. Badrinath is also known as Badri Vishal as it is the largest among the five Badri, collectively known as Panch Badri, and the most revered one. The temple is situated in the valley between Nar and Narayan mountains. In the background is the Neelkanth peak.
