Badrinath is a sacred Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Vishnu. It is one of the 108 Divyadesam for the Vishnu followers. According to the scriptures, this holy territory is called Vishalpuri and Vishnudham. The term Badri, refers to a berry tree. The Vishnu Purana states that Lord Vishnu arrived at Badrinath in quest of solitude and tranquilly. His spouse, Goddess Laxmi, took on the appearance of a berry tree and protected him from the extreme climatic conditions as he sat for penance in these mountains. Hence the name – Badrinath.
