Importance of seeing "Akhand Jot"
Let me tell you, Lord Badrinath's Friday darshan mainly consists of the monolithic light and the nirvana darshan of Lord Badrinath. It is the main importance of seeing it today. The temple will remain open throughout the day on Friday but devotees are not allowed to visit due to the lockdown. The first time in the morning the ghetto blanket was removed from the statue of Lord Badri Vishal as soon as the cupboard opened. The god is covered with a blanket made of ghee on the idol and the blankets made by the virgin girls of the village of Mana while the door is closed and removed when the door is opened. After this, mother Lakshmi came out from the womb of Badrinath temple, after which Uddhav Ji, elder brother of Lord Badrinath Ji, and Kubera Ji entered the womb of Badrinath temple. With this, the darshan of Lord Badrinath started. In the period of Kapat bandh, a monolithic flame burning for six months is seen. A large number of devotees reach the Dham on the first day to see the unbroken Jyoti. Though the devotees could not reach this time due to the lockdown, Akhand Jyoti continued to burn here after 6 months of shutdown. The flame is kept intact when the valve is opened. It keeps on burning even after the closure of the valve, and the devotees first get to see the same when the door is opened.
