This holy temple is one of the holiest of the holy shrines of Chardham pilgrimage in India. It is nestled between Nar and Narayan peaks. Badrinath is the last and most celebrated stop in the pilgrimage yatra of Garhwal Himalayas. The Badrinath temple stands proud and holds its rich past along the banks of the Alaknanda river. It is the most important temple of Vishnu. It is believed to be built by Adi Shankaracharya. He found the Saligram idol of Lord Badri immersed in the waters of Alaknanda and then installed it in a cave near the Tapt Kund.
The Hindu scriptures and holy Bhagavata Puran mentions lord Vishnu undergoing penance here in his incarnation as Nara and Narayan, since time immemorial for the wellbeing of all living forms of the Universe. Another narrative from Hindu mythology states that Lord Vishnu sat meditating in the forest full of Badri bushes. To shelter meditating Lord Vishnu from the sweltering heat of the sun Goddess Luxmi stood next to him providing shade and with the passing time Goddess Lakshmi turned into Badri Vishal herself and Lord Vishnu became the Badrinath. Padma Purana mentions the area in and around Badri Dham as replete with spiritual treasure.
