Badrinath During Winters
The Badrinath Temple remains closed during the winter season, due to the extreme cold, rendering the location inaccessible.
Before the doors to the temple are shut, the temple priest lights a little candle or lamp in front of the idol. Legends believe that this light is lighted for Narad Muni, who continues to offer prayers here every winter when the doors are shut. The light remains glowing even when the temple is finally reopened again, giving rise to further belief and divinity.
The Legend Behind The Temple
The mystery about the original date of the Badrinath Temple still remains. No one truly knows when the temple came into being, or how old it is. Many even say that it is as old as the Vedic Age (1500 BC). These claims are strongly refuted by experts.
What is known about the history of the temple, is that it attracted many saints and sages who came here to meditate for hours and hours. This led to an amazing release of powerful energy, which you can still feel at this place.
Some legends even suggest that Badrinath was meant to be the abode of Lord Shiva since he had chosen it for himself. However, Lord Vishnu tricked him and Lord Shiva had to leave and make Kedarnath his new home.
There are several other folklore and myths that are related to the Badrinath Temple. If you are lucky enough you might just end up hearing all of them from the pilgrims while on your way to the temple.

A Little Folklore
Goddess Yamuna is actually the daughter of Sun and the sister of Yama- who is the God of Death. The Yamuna is extremely pious and pure in the Hindu religion and is often known as Yami, which means lady of life. Devotees believe, that taking a dip in her waters will wash away all the sins and help one attain moksha.
Legends say that Lord Hanuman put off the fire that was burning his tale in the cold waters of Yamuna. Lord Hanuman had doused his tail on fire to burn the city of Lanka, after which he needed to put off the fire burning his tail.
Since then, the peak that houses the Yamuna is called Banderpooch, or monkey’s tail.
The Yamunotri Temple
The regal Yamunotri Temple is located at the foothills of Kalind Mountain. This lovely temple is flanked by the imposing Himalayas on all sides, making it look even more royal and alluring. Historians believe that this temple was constructed by the King of Tehri in 1839.
The beauty of this temple lies not in what’s inside, but the sight outside the temple. The gushing water of The Yamuna River occupies one side, as the beautiful river just thunders down from one side of this temple, giving it a gorgeous look. The location of this temple is so divine, that Sage Asit Muni himself used to come down here to take a dip in the sacred waters of the Yamuna River.
Some stories also claim, that the sage used to take a dip in both Ganga and Yamuna, however, during his old age he was unable to do so. Thus, the pious Yamuna rivulet apprised next to the Ganga rivulet just for Asit Muni. This magic and mystic behind these places make it all the more divine. You can still feel the strong diving powers of this land from the moment you come here. Even when you leave, you will feel as if you are taking a part of Yamunotri with you through your memories of this place. Such is the beauty of Yamunotri.

While most people visit the Gangotri Dham come to visit the lovely temple, others come to witness the roaring waters of River Ganga, coupled with the awe-inspiring sight of the Himalayas.
The holy river of Ganga makes this place even more pious and holy, making it a truly divine place. You can also visit Gaumukh, from where Ganga originates. This azure glacier looks mesmerizing, as the Ganga River gradually takes birth from the Gaumukh.
The Legend Behind The Holy River
Legend suggests that River Ganga did agree to come down to the earth after Bhagirath prayed relentlessly. However, the Goddess was so aggressive, that her descent could have submerged the whole earth. Thus, to ensure this doesn’t happen, Lord Shiva caught River Ganga in his flowing locks.
Seeing this, Bhagirath decided to meditate again. Lord Shiva was impressed by his devotion and decided to let Ganga go in the form of three rivulets. One of those streams is the Bhagirath- which now flows beside the Gangotri Temple.
Ganga has been worshipped for time immemorial, which makes this river holy in the Hindu religion. Many believe that embarking on this Yatra will free them of their sins, and they will attain moksha. If not for religion, the stunning location is surely a pull for tourists.

Tour Overview:Jaipur is the capital of the state of Rajasthan a romantic realm of resplendent palaces, mighty fortresses and regal Maharajahs that lies in the western deserts and is an utterly unique part of India. Proudly belonging to the KSHATRIYA warrior caste and fiercely independent, the Rajput princes made fearsome foes. However, many of them realized that to maintain their wealth and authority locally, it was expedient to proclaim allegiance to the central power. Thus, many enjoyed a privileged position under the Mughal emperors and also the British Raj that followed.
The bustling Rajasthan capital of Jaipur takes its name from its venerated founder Jai Singh II, who was given the title Sawai Maharaja by the Mughal. Literally translated this would mean “one and a quarter”, suggesting that the Mughal thought this emperor to be more valuable than just “one”. Jaipur is known as the “Pink City” on account of the distinctive colour of its buildings. This did not, however, form part of the original plan, but dates back to 1856, when the city was given a wash of pink in honor of a State Visit from Prince Albert.
