One of the most popular legends, mentioned in <em>The Mahabharata<\/em>, states that this is the place where King Pandu (father of the Pandavas) performed deep penance in order to get rid of the sin of killing sages. Mythology states that King Pandu used to stay with his wives Madri and Kunti in Pandukeshwar after giving his throne to his elder brother Dhritarashtra.<\/p>\n<p>It is said that one day King Pandu went hunting and, by mistake, killed a sage who had transformed into a deer. As the sage was dying, he cursed him, saying that he would never be able to love anyone in the future, and if he tried, he would die.<\/p>\n<p>To absolve himself of this sin, King Pandu visited Yogdhyan Badri, installed a bronze idol of Lord Vishnu, and performed deep meditation. During this time, Madri and Kunti gave birth to the Pandavas. Later, one day, when Madri was taking a bath in the Alaknanda River, King Pandu got attracted to her, and as per the curse of the sage, he died.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Places_to_Visit_in_and_Around_Pandukeshwar\"><\/span><strong>Places to Visit in and Around Pandukeshwar<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Badrinath_Temple\"><\/span><strong>Badrinath Temple<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-794\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Badrinath-Temple.jpg\" alt=\"Badrinath Temple\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chardhamtour.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Badrinath-Temple.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.chardhamtour.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Badrinath-Temple-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chardhamtour.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Badrinath-Temple-768x427.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nestled beautifully amidst the Garhwal Himalayan ranges, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chardhamtour.in\/badrinath-yatra.html\">Badrinath Dham Darshan<\/a> is believed to be one of the most important destinations for Vishnu worshippers.
