This holy temple of Lord Vishnu is situated on the left side of Alaknanda river in the lap of Nar and Narayan mountain ranges. This holy place is the Tapabhoomi of Nar and Narayan, the fourth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. It is believed that the person who visits Badrinath does not have to come in the womb of the mother again. The creature becomes free from the cycle of birth and death. Before Lord Vishnu, this place belonged to Lord Shiva.

Lord Vishnu liked this place for penance, so he took the form of a child and started crying, hearing which Mother Parvati and Lord Shiva themselves appeared before that child and asked what he wanted? Lord Vishnu, disguised as a child, asked for this place from Shiva for meditation. The place which Lord Vishnu got after changing form from Shiva-Parvati, is famous by the name of Badrivishal. Badrinath Dham is at an altitude of 10200 feet above sea level.
