Dehradun: Following a sudden weather shift in Uttarakhand’s high-altitude regions, Badrinath Dham, one of the country’s oldest and most revered pilgrimage sites, has witnessed continuous and intense snowfall since Wednesday. The Badrinath Temple and the surrounding hills are now adorned with a white layer of snow.
Simultaneously, Kedarnath Temple, another popular pilgrimage destination, remains draped in snow as the region experiences snowfall for the second consecutive day. The Surkanda Devi Hills in Uttarakhand’s Tehri Garhwal district have also been covered with a layer of snow.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had earlier predicted heavy rain and snowfall in the mountainous regions of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Uttarakhand due to a western disturbance. The IMD further stated that the western disturbance is expected to affect plain areas, including Haryana, Delhi NCR, and Uttar Pradesh.
