Every so often in the Garhwal Himalayas, tales
from the Mahabharata spring magically to life.
Yogdhyan Badri, 1,920 mts. is located at Pandukeshwar,
named after the Pandva's King. It is said
that the Pandavas, victorious after their
battle against the Kauravas, but emotionally
scarred, came to the Himalayas. And it was
here that they handed over their capital,
Hastinapur, to Raja Parikshit and took up
penance before seeking out the highway to
heaven. The importance of the Badri is immence
and the sanctum has an image of the lord in
a meditative posture.
