Once the spot was carpeted with 'badass' or wild berries and hence was famous as Badri van. Legend has it that when the Ganga was requested to descend to earth to help suffering humanity; the earth was enabled to withstand the force of its descent. Therefore the mighty Ganga was split into 12 holy channels. Alaknanda was one of them that later became the abode of Lord Vishnu or Badrinath.

Legends have it that when Shiva chopped off the fifth head of Brahma, it got stuck to his trident. Lastly with the blessing of Lord Vishnu at Badrivan, the head of Brahma fell down from the trident at this place & hence the name Brahma-Kapal (head).
