Dedicated to Lord Narasimha and the winter abode of Lord Badri, the temple has a peaceful, serene yet powerful vibe about it. Spacious both inside and outside, the recently reconstructed main complex is also quite visually appealing. Especially in the evening when it’s lit. There are also small temples dedicated to other deities around the perimeter of the Narsingh temple. Recommend reading up about the temple before visit to not miss out on appreciating the history and significance of it

Beautiful temple in Joshimath. Must visit on the way to Badrinath dham. It is one of the 108 divyadeshams of Lord Vishnu. The other two nearby are Raghunath Mandir, Devprayag and Badrinath dham itself. The location is beautiful as well.

The location is insane. If you are here dont miss out the tulsi tea around the corner shop and must know about the story of the temple along with its importance.

Architecture is the same as kedarnath. Post diwali, when snowfall increases, Baba badri vishal will be kept under this temple only for the next 6 months until the gate opens.

This temple is Lord Vishnu's fourth incarnation Narsimha Avatar. Really beautiful architecture. The mesmerizing view of hills surrounded from all sides this temple is really peaceful.

Lord badrinath ji six month stay at this temple in winter. Very old and great temple . Also jagadguru Sankar yacha ji also established a North mathh at here

History: It is believed that the construction of this temple was done by Adi Shankaracharya. The idol of God Narasimha established in the temple, is made of Shaligram stone and was built during the reign of King Lalitaditya Yukta Pida of Kashmir in the 8th century.

This temple is the resting place of lord badrinath during the time of winters

Temple is as beautiful which cannot be described in words..

Being located in the hilly regions the temple should be visited during the comfortable summer times of April and May. Travelling to hilly regions should be avoided during the monsoon months of July and August since the entire area remains susceptible to unexpected weather changes. You can also visit this place during the winter months of October and November when the idol of Lord Badri is brought down to this temple which is his winter home. The remainder of the months is uncomfortably cold to visit this region.

The only Narasimha temple in the North of India. Adishankara Established this temple. Modern North Indian architecture and a very well-maintained temple. Not to be missed in Joshi math.

Shri Narsingh Devta, the fourth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Try visiting the temple when you proceed towards Shri Badrinath as it's a one-way street. One can also enjoy watching the Elephant mountain and Sleeping beauty mountain from the temple premises.

Lord Narsimha Statue in Joshimath

The idol is brought down amongst great celebration and dances and is placed right next to the idol of Lord Narsimha by the priests. The pilgrims on their winter char Dham Yatra or Panch Badri Yatra visit this temple to offer their prayer to the lord here which is more convenient since the entire region of Badrinath remains covered under a thick layer of snow.

A must visit when in Joshimath.

Our visit time was December, so fortunately we happened to witness the Pandava Nritya which a 10-day long show, and we visited the temple on the last day 🤩
We also could take blessings of the Badrinathji ki paalki 😇
The sunset was just perfect 🥹

What is Pandava Nritya ?
This ceremonial dance is performed to commemorate the journey of Pandavas and to bring happiness in the homes and villages of Uttarakhand.

It narrates the story of the Pandava brothers, beginning from their birth to commencing the Swargarohini Yatra- ‘The Journey to Heaven’. The sundry elements of their journey are covered in this ritual dance, staged on the thumping of the drums.

This 10-12 day long, dance skit touches various plots like Kichaka Vadh (slaying of Kichaka), Narayan Vivah (Lord Vishnu’s marriage), Chakravyuh (a military tactic designed by Guru Drona), Genda Vadh (sacrificing dummy rhino).

The last day of Pandava Nritya marks the closing ceremony of the fest, followed by a grand feast for the villagers. After which the sacred weapons used in the Pandava Leela are safely kept in the quiver.
