Mata Murti Temple History 

Narayan is another name for Lord Badrinath. It is thought that Mata Murti fervently begged Lord Vishnu, asking him to take on her body as his next incarnation. Her devotion pleased Lord Vishnu, who manifested as the twins. Thus, praying to the Goddess is thought to release a person from the pains of a worldly existence. 

Celebration at Mata Murti Mandir

Every year, on the day of Shravan Dwadashi in September, the Temple hosts a fair in honor of the Goddess. The temple is one of the most appealing place to visit in Badrinath, especially during the festivals. 

The purpose of Mata Murti ka Mela is to honor Mata Murti, the Mother of Badrinath. At the Badrinath Temple, the Mata Murti Ka Mela happens to keep the Ganga River's descent into Mother Earth.

Every evening throughout the Mela, there is an Aarti and Geet Govinda recital. There is Bhagavat Pooja, Maha Abhishek (the holy bath), and Geeta Path in the mornings. The Ashtotram and Sahasranama texts from the Vedas are read out loud during the rituals.
