Announcement of Shri Badrinath Dham Yatra

 


The date of opening the doors of Sri Badrinath Dham, one of the most important Dhams in the Char Dham Yatra, which is considered very sacred in Hinduism, has been announced. The date was announced from the palace in Tehri on the auspicious occasion of Vasant Panchami. The doors of Sri Badrinath Dham will be opened on May 12 at 6 am on Brahmamuhurta. Maharaj Manujayendra Shah of Tehri announced this date from his palace in Narendra Nagar , Tehri. The date of opening the doors of Badrinath Dham (Shree Badrinath Temple) is decided according to the king's horoscope. Complete rituals are followed in this centuries-old tradition.   

 

On the auspicious occasion of Vasant Panchami, a religious program organized at the Rajdarbar in Narendranagar Tehri announced when the door of Sri Badrinath Dham will be opened. On this occasion, Maharaj Manujendra Sah performed puja ritually. After that, the date of opening the doors of Badrinath Dham was announced by looking at the Panchang. A gadoo filled with sesame oil containing this most important part will be sent to the Badrinath temple from the Narendranagar Raj Mahal on April 25. As the doors of Badrinath Dham have been announced, the devotees have started preparing for the Chardham Yatra.  Of course , the opening dates of Kedarnath Dham and Gangotri-Yamunotri Dham, which are important parts of this Yatra,  have not been announced yet. It will be announced on the occasion of Shivratri when these dates will be announced.




Badrinath Dham (Shree Badrinath Temple) is a sacred pilgrimage site on the banks of Alaknanda river between two mountains, Nar and Narayan. Last year, a record number of devotees reached Badrinath Dham for the darshan of Badri Vishal. The number of devotees coming here is increasing every year. Here Lord Narayana is seated in yoga posture. This Dham is also called Bhu-vaikuntha. It is believed that when Badrinath Dham is closed for six months, it is worshiped by the deities. It is believed that the deities visit this place in winter to worship Lord Narayana. Only the head priest has the right to touch the main idol in the Badrinath temple. The head priests of the Kedarnath and Badrinath temples are said to be Namboodiri Brahmins from Kerala.  He is a descendant of Rawal Adi Shankaracharya. It is known that Shankaracharya himself arranged the worship of Raval. If these Rawals are not present in the temple, Lord Narayana is worshiped by Dimri Brahmins. Rawal is worshiped as a deity in Badrinath. He is considered as a form of Goddess Parvati.

The process of opening and closing the doors of Badrinath Dham is very interesting. The date of opening the doors of Badrinath Dham is decided according to the king's horoscope. The date is decided every year on Vasant Panchami in the royal court of Tehri. This auspicious date is determined by looking at the compatibility of the planets in the king's horoscope. Then Maharaj announces that date. It has been a tradition for thousands of years from the royal family of Tehri Durbar to carry the Kalash of Lord Badrinath. Sudarshan Shah, the first king of the Tehri dynasty, was named Bolanda Badrish by the people. In earlier times, devotees who could not reach Badri Vishal to have darshan of the king were believed to receive merit like Dham darshan just by darshan of the king Devotees used to salute this Gadu too. Since then this tank is being filled with oil.

 

 At the time of opening the doors of Badrinath Dham (Shree Badrinath Temple), this gadu is ceremoniously carried into the Dham. Lord Badri Vishal is the patriarch of Tehri Raja. That is why it is announced when the doors of the Dham will be opened by looking at the horoscope of the king of the Tehri royal family. This date is announced when the queen of Tehri dynasty extracts sesame oil and it is filled in the traditional gudu.  Earlier , Rani Rajya Lakshmi Shah fasts with married women at Narendra Nagar Palace .  Wears yellow clothes. After extracting sesame oil, this oil is filled in a jar. He is called Gadu Ghagri. After that this oil urn is kept in Sri Lakshmi Narayan temple in Dimer village. The same sesame oil is used in the Dham for six months at the time of opening the doors of the Dham. This sesame oil keeps the eternal flame lit.

Four days before the opening of the doors of the Dham, a procession of Adi Shankaracharya's throne and oil urn is taken out from the Narasimha temple under the leadership of Raval, the chief priest of Badrinath Temple. The procession also involves the chariots of Garudaji , Kuberji, the treasurer of the gods, and Uddhavji, the childhood friend of Lord Narayan.
