Badrinath Temple Portal Closed for Winter

Gopeshwar: Badrinath Portal was closed for winter on Saturday night, calling the curtain at Chardham Yatra this year.
Rawal Ishwari Prasad Namboodiri performed a complicated ritual that took place throughout the day before the closing of the temple gate for the right visitor at 6:45 a.m., said a Devashanam Board official.
More than 4,000 pilgrims were present at the temple on Saturday to witness the closing ceremony, he said.
A total of 1,97,056 pilgrims visited this year’s Badrinath Temple.
The closure of the Badrinath marked the end of the Chardham Yatra season because it was the last of the four Himalayan temples to close in Uttarakhand.
Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri were closed.
Uttarakhand Governor Lt Gen (RET.) Gurmit Singh and Chief of the Minister of Pushkar Singh Dhami expressed happiness in Yatra carried out successfully despite Covid limitations.
Chardham Yatra opened for pilgrims until in September this year because of the second wave of Covid.
Since September 18 when Yatra started for worshipers, 5.06,240 pilgrims visited Chardham this season.
