towering Neelkanth peak (6,597mts.) in the background

unite the country in one bond, Adi Guru Sri Shankaracharya built
four pilgrimage centres in four corners of India. Among them
were Badrikashram (Badrinath) in the north, Rameshwaram in the
south, Dwarkapuri in the west and Jagannath Puri in the east.
Badrinath situated at an elevation of 3,133 mts. is considered
to be amongst the most pious.
