I asked a pundit/pujari of the temple whether the oil is specially made with herbs & whether some specific flowers are used during the closing of the temple recommended by adi Shankaracharya. He replied that normal oil is used. No special flower is used. He told that many people will say many things. But no such specially made oil or flower.hotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471907937427216868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686476163883044055.post-48240578163285934712018-10-03T14:12:19.391+05:302018-10-03T14:12:19.391+05:30Sage Narada worships Badri Narayana when the templ...Sage Narada worships Badri Narayana when the temple is closed in winter.So the lamp is lit and flowers are afresh when the temple is reopened.madhavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14688574834322500777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686476163883044055.post-7636785690105452932018-07-21T22:39:04.130+05:302018-07-21T22:39:04.130+05:30no at Gangotri normaloil is used that is why there...no at Gangotri normaloil is used that is why there is a huge container<br />only at Badrinath this procedure is followed hence a small quantity of oil last 6 monthsbhojhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15886356563182822119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686476163883044055.post-3868687556271261732018-07-21T20:57:52.871+05:302018-07-21T20:57:52.871+05:301) Have u found the composition and making procedu...1) Have u found the composition and making procedure of the oil used in akhand jyoti?<br />2) Is same oil used in Gangotri also?hotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471907937427216868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686476163883044055.post-36114739822940282002015-04-18T10:49:58.230+05:302015-04-18T10:49:58.230+05:30about the flowers it is already written in the blo...about the flowers it is already written in the blog.<br /><br />never came across the orange flowers story during my stay in Badrinathbhojhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15886356563182822119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686476163883044055.post-88679807070973183022015-04-17T23:29:16.308+05:302015-04-17T23:29:16.308+05:30And how to explain new flowers instead old orange ...And how to explain new flowers instead old orange flowers in the Badrinath temple?!<br /><br />I came over this link: http://www.amazingbharat.com/2013/08/badrinath.htmlshyamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514069392749802338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686476163883044055.post-82941625622600460002014-09-11T18:53:03.803+05:302014-09-11T18:53:03.803+05:30i have no idea.
