Conch is considered very sacred in the Hindu religion. This is the reason why the tradition of blowing the conch shell from the temple to the house is followed even today. On the other hand, talking about temples and blowing conch shell at the places of gods is considered very auspicious and listening to the sound of conch shell is considered extremely beneficial.

In a situation, today we are going to tell you about such a temple based on the information given by astrologer expert DrRadhakant Vats where blowing the conch is considered prohibited. This temple is the Badrinath temple where the tradition of blowing the conch shell is not followed. So let's know the reason and secret behind it.

  • Badridham is situated on the banks of the Alaknanda River in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. Lord Badri Vishal is worshipped as the first Badri of PanchBadri.
  • There is evidence that this temple was built between the 7th to 9th centuries. The supernatural and divine idol of Lord Badrinarayan is installed in this temple.
  • People have great faith in Lord Badri Vishal. Blowing a conch shell is prohibited in this temple, behind which religious, natural and scientific reasons are available.

  • The religious reason is associated with Maa Lakshmi. According to legend, Mata Lakshmi is established in BadrinathDham in the form of Tulsi in meditation posture.
  • When Maa Lakshmi was meditating, Lord Vishnu killed a demon named Shankhachurna but did not blow the conch shell.
  • The reason behind this was that the attention of Goddess Lakshmi should not be distracted by blowing the conch shell. That's why the conch is not blown in Badrinath temple.
  • At the same time, there is also a scientific and natural reason behind not blowing the conch in Badrinath; it is related to the environment there.
  • In fact, at the time of snowfall in BadrinathDham, the entire Badri region is covered with a white sheet of snow.
  • According to the scientific basis, if a conch shell is blown in the Badri area, its sound can create an echo by hitting the snow.
  • This can cause cracks in the ice and the danger of avalanches can also arise. That's why the conch is not blown here.
