Jyotirmath

Jyotirmath, also called Joshimath is a place in Uttaranchal in the Himalayas. It is the site of the original uttaramnaya matha or northern matha (monastery), established by Adi Sankara.

As it is close to the pilgrimage town of Badrinath, and the Jyotirmath matha has not always been active, it is sometimes said that the original northern matha was at Badrinath.
