The Adi Badri in Yamunanagar, Haryana is a considered to be one of the sacred pilgrimage spots in the country and the beauty of it has been enhanced by the construction of the Saraswati Sarovar. The lake has been constructed at a place where Saraswati River appears in the Himalayan Glacier plains. Pilgrims flock the area during the Vasanta Panchami and the Karthik Purnima. Thousand of pilgrims bathe in the lake and float lamps presenting a lovely sight in the nights. Very near to the place is a Gurudwara, which was graced with a visit by Guru Govind Singh. The Adi Badri is believed to be the ancient aboard of Badri Nath thus making it an important religious destination.
