Yogadhyan Badri Temple is situated in a tiny hamlet at
Pandukeshwar on
Rishikesh-Badrinath highway. It is one of the five badris placed at an altitude of 1,920 m. The temple is dedicated to the
Lord Vishnu. According to the belief,
Pandu, father of
the Pandavas, meditated here and was blessed by Vishnu for his penance. The place got its name from this incident.
