Adi Shankaracharya established four mutts in the four
directions of India
and Badrinath is one among them. The belief is that the murti worshiped in
Badrinath temple was discovered by Adi Shankaracharya at Narad Kund and he
consecrated the murti in the present temple.
Daily puja and bhog are offered at the Adi Shankaracharya
Temple .
Apart from the Adi Shankaracharya Temple ,
Murti of Adi Shankaracharya and his four disciples are found along the Parikrama
inside the Badrinath
Temple .
