The most surprising belief related to Badrinath Dham is that the sound of thunder is never heard here nor is there any lightning. The priests and local people of the Dham say that Lord Vishnu remains engaged in rigorous penance here in the form of ‘Narayan’. Nature itself helps to ensure that there is no hindrance in the meditation of God. There are a lot of clouds here and it rains, but they never thunder. Similarly, lightning flashes but its thunder remains silent.

What is the mythological secret of dogs not barking?

Surprisingly, dogs stop barking as soon as they enter the limits of Badrinath Dham. There are two main beliefs behind this:

Curse and service: According to mythology, Lord Vishnu had ordered the dogs to remain silent at the time of Narayana Avatar here so that his penance would not be disturbed.

Servant of Bhairav ​​Dev: The second belief is that here the dogs are considered to be the servants of Bhairav ​​Dev and they are ordered to live in peace. This is the reason why dogs in this sacred area remain very calm and do not bark at anyone.

Union of Nar and Narayan: The main center of Char Dham

Badrinath is the only place where Shri Hari is present in both ‘Nar’ and ‘Narayan’ forms. This Dham is situated on the banks of Alaknanda River in Chamoli district.
