Opening and Closing Date of Badrinath Temple

Badrinath Temple in Uttarakhand is the last shrine of the Char Dham Yatra. Every year, countless devotees visit this sacred shrine to seek the blessings of Lord Badri Vishal. The temple remains open to devotees for six months each year, i.e. from May to November. In 2025, the Badrinath Temple Opening date is May 4, 2025. Due to heavy snowfall and severe weather conditions, the temple becomes inaccessible during the winter months. As a result, the Badrinath Dham Temple remains closed for the next six months. During this period, the deity is worshipped at the Narsingh Temple in Joshimath. Every year, thousands of pilgrims from across the world visit Badrinath Dham during its opening and closing ceremonies.
