At Sri Badrika Ashram, in the village of Shalamun in the Sirmaur region of Himachal Pradesh, beside the Giri Ganga river, stands the temple of Sri Hari — the heart of the ashram founded in 2011 by the monk Om Swami. The Lord is worshipped here in a striking life-size black-stone image that, devotees say, reveals itself as the Goddess in the mood of devotion and as Vishnu in the mood of majesty, uniting the divine feminine and masculine in a single form.
Set amid the quiet of the Himalayan foothills, the temple is a place of meditation, worship, and selfless service. Sri Hari of Sri Badrika Ashram is a serene modern shrine drawing spiritual seekers to the mountains.
