About Badrinath
Badrinath stands on the banks of the Alaknanda river in Chamoli district, between the Nar and Narayan mountain ranges, with Neelkanth peak rising behind it. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu as Badrinarayan and is believed to have been established by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century.
According to legend, Lord Vishnu meditated here, and Goddess Lakshmi took the form of a badri (berry) tree to shelter him from the harsh weather, which gave the place its name. Pilgrims believe a visit to Badrinath washes away sins and leads to moksha.
