Narsingh Temple, located in Joshimath in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, India, is a sacred Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Narsingh, an avatar of Lord Vishnu. The temple is an important pilgrimage site and holds significant religious importance, particularly for the followers of the Vaishnava tradition. It is also a part of the famous 'Sapt Badri' pilgrimage circuit, which comprises seven shrines dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The deity in the Narsingh Temple is considered the 'Dhuliya' or guardian of the Badrinath Temple during the winter months when the Badrinath Temple is closed due to heavy snowfall. The Narsingh Temple is characterized by its simple yet elegant architecture with traditionally carved wooden doors and a facade that reflects the indigenous Garhwali style. The temple also serves as a key site during local festivals and is often visited by pilgrims en route to Badrinath. Besides its religious significance, the temple offers a serene atmosphere and is surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Himalayas, making it a tranquil place for meditation and contemplation.
