Legend: According to a popular legend, Nar & Narayana (two incarnations of Lord Vishnu) prayed in front of a Shivalingam in Badrikashraya of Bharat Khand. Pleased by their devotion, Lord Shiva granted them a boon. The duo requested Shiva to take up a permanent seat as a Jyotirlinga at Kedarnath so as to free the devotees of Lord Shiva from all their memory.

Located near the head of the River Mandakini in the Himalayas, Kedar Ghati is flanked by breathtaking snow-clad mountains. The city is named after King Kedar Ji who ruled in the Satya Yuga. The saintly king is believed to be the ruler of the 7 continents.

His daughter – Vrinda – is believed to be a partial incarnation of the Goddess Laxmi.

Another popular legend tells that Sage Vyasa authored Mahabharata at a cave in Mana, a destination 5 km from Badrinath.

Places to visit:

• Badrinath Temple: The story goes back to the time of Shankaracharya who discovered a black Saligram stone image of Lord Vishnu in the form of Lord Badrinarayan. He enshrined the same in a cave near Tapt Kund hot springs. In the 16th century, the king of Garhwal moved the stone idol into the present day temple.
