Tapt Kund is a hot water spring near the famous BadrinathTemple. Devotees take a dip in this holy water before having darshan at the
Badarinath Temple. Tapt Kund is located on the Markandeya Rock on the banks of
the Alaknanda River.
Tapt Kund contains medicinal properties. A bath in the holy
water is highly refreshing. It also has curative properties.
Tapt Kund emerges beneath the Garuda murti in the temple.
The water then gets collected in the rock. Today there are tanks in which water
is collected and devotees can take bath in the tanks.
Tapt Kund is a natural hot spring. Naturally heated
groundwater from the Earth’s crust emerge from the spot.
