The Legend
Badrinarayan on the Alaknanda
Vishnu is worshipped here as Badrinarayan, in the Nara-Narayan form. The tradition says Vyasa worked on the Mahabharata in these valleys. Sadhus still winter in caves nearby when the temple closes.
Neelkanth rises behind the coloured facade. After Tapt Kund, we take you in for darshan, then to Mana if time remains.
