According to tradition, Badrinath was established by Adi Shankaracharya in the 9th century when he discovered a black stone idol of Lord Vishnu (as Badrinarayan) in the Alaknanda River. The temple has been rebuilt multiple times after avalanche and earthquake damage, most recently in the 17th century. The head priest (Rawal) is traditionally a Namboodiri Brahmin from Kerala, a tradition said to have been established by Shankaracharya himself.
