Badrinath Dham experienced a significant influx of devotees as it welcomed a record-breaking 5 lakh devotees in less than a month. Notably, this year, Badrinath Dham witnessed a hike of 50,000 devotees compared to last year's 4.5 lakh devotees who visited the dham in the first month.

More than 55,000 devotees have visited Hemkund Sahib, the holy pilgrimage for Sikhs, to pay their respect.

This year, a hike in the number of devotees has been witnessed across the Char Dham Yatra circuit, which includes Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri. With the rise in devotees in Badrinath, it is expected that all the previous records of the yatra will be broken this time.

Speaking with media, the Vice-Chairman of the Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee, Kishor Panwar, said, "As many as 19 lakh devotees have already come to the Char Dham till now. In less than a month in Badrinath, five lakh devotees have already had the darshan of Lord Badri Vishal, and the hope is for even more devotees to come."
