TIRUPPIRUDI (Joshimath / Nanda Prayag)

 

This Divya shetram is in the Himalayas at 6200 feet height, enroute to Badrinath from Rishikesh.

There is a shrine at Joshimath, for Lord Narasimhar and Vasudeva built by Adi Sankara. The moolavar is Paramapurushan and the Thayar Parimalavalli. The Theertham is Indra Theertham and the Vimanam Govardhana Vimanam. Tirumangai Azhwar refers to Vishnu at this shrine as Rama, Krishna and Paraman reclining on the thousand-headed serpent.

The shrine at Nandaprayag has the idol of Gopala.

During the winter months the Utsava vigraha of Badrinarayana is brought to this temple and worshipped in the sanctum.

Azhwar Mangalaasaasanam:

Tirumangai Azhwar – 1115, 2770 (pasuram number as found in Naalaayira Divya prabhandam)

Adi Sankara established his first mutt at a place 15 Kms from here and also authored Sri Sankara Bhasyam at this place.
