Dehradun: Badrinath Temple, one of the four Char Dhams, will close for winters on November 27 this year.

"According to the auspicious date fixed on the occasion of Vijayadashmi today, the temple will close at 3.35 PM on November 27 this year," said chief of Badrinath Kedarnath Temple Committee Ganesh Godiyal.

The three other dhams Yamunotri, Gangotri and Kedarnath will close this month only.
