The sacred portals of the Badrinath temple in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district will open for devotees at 6 am on May 4.

On the occasion of Basant Panchami, the auspicious time for opening the temple was decided after special prayers were offered at the former Tehri royal court in Narendra Nagar.

After Ganesh Panchang and Chowki Pujan, royal priest Acharya Krishna Prasad Uniyal decided the date for opening the doors of the Badrinath temple.

Every year after Diwali, the doors of the Char Dhams—Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri—are closed for the devotees. The portals reopen in April-May the following year.
