The mythological account of Badrinath can be traced back to the era of lord Vishnu and goddess Laxmi. After some altercation Lord Vishnu chose Badrinath as the place for performing rigorous meditation to lord shiva. Initially, the entire region was covered in tall Badri trees which was a form of wild berries, the lord chose to perform his meditation here.

He slipped into a deep meditative state and became oblivious of the harsh weather changes that took place, Lord Laxmi became protective of her better half and surrounded him by becoming a Badri tree herself and gave him some much-required shade.
