After a long winter break, the doors of Badrinath shrine will open early Friday for thousands of devotees, ITBP officials said.

It is expected that the portals will be opened at 4.30 a.m., the force deputed in the hilly town to guard India-China border, said.

As per an estimated figure registered last year, around 10,000 pilgrims visited the shrine last year on the first day of its opening. On Thursday, the temple and its surroundings were decked with quintals of marigolds.

Among the prominent personalities expected to offer flowers on the first day opening of the shrine are state Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat and Governor Baby Rani Maurya.
