History:
Badrinath is a name derived from the Sanskrit language and is composed of two words, “badri” and “nath”. The first word, “badri”, means berry, while the second word, “nath”, means lord. Thus, the name Badrinath literally means “Lord of Berries”.
The name Badrinath is believed to have been derived from the legend of Lord Vishnu, who is said to have taken the form of a berry in order to protect the sages from the scorching heat of the sun. It is believed that the name Badrinath was given to the temple in the 8th century by Adi Shankaracharya, a philosopher and theologian from India.
