Diwali and Bhai Dooj at Badrinath

Diwali and Bhai Dooj are celebrated with devotion, family traditions, and prayers across India. For pilgrims planning a journey to the Himalayas, these festivals also raise an important question: Will Badrinath Temple be open during Diwali and Bhai Dooj in 2026?

Badrinath Dham, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, is one of the four sacred Char Dham pilgrimage sites in Uttarakhand. The temple generally remains open from spring until autumn before closing for the winter season. Since Diwali and Bhai Dooj at Badrinath fall in November in 2026, travelers must check the official temple closing date before making their plans.

If you are planning a Badrinath Yatra during the festive season, here is what you should know about the festival dates, temple darshan, weather, travel arrangements, and accommodation.
