Joshimath is famous for Jyotirmath, one of the four peethas established by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century, making it a crucial Advaita Vedanta centre. The current Shankaracharya is the religious authority for all of north India. Exploring this complex is essential among things to do in Joshimath. It houses the Kalpavriksha, a 2,400-year-old mulberry tree under which Shankara meditated, still alive and worshipped.
