This lithograph, titled "Badrinath" and published by Hemchander Bhargava, portrays Lord Badrinath, a revered form of Vishnu, seated in meditation within the Badrinath Temple. Depicted in Padmasana (lotus posture), the four-armed deity holds a Shankha (conch) and Chakra (discus) in his upper hands, while his lower hands rest upon his lap. Beside him stands Goddess Lakshmi, his consort, symbolizing wealth and prosperity.
The scene includes other significant figures such as Garuda, Vishnu's mount; the sage Narada; and Lord Ganesha, all accompanied by sages and devotees.
This artwork captures the spiritual essence of the Badrinath Temple, a significant pilgrimage site located in the Garhwal Himalayas along the banks of the Alaknanda River in Uttarakhand, India. The temple stands at an elevation of approximately 3,133 meters (10,279 feet) and is part of the Char Dham pilgrimage circuit.
