One legend has it that when the goddess Ganga was requested to descend to earth to help suffering humanity, the earth was unable to withstand the force of her descent. Therefore the mighty Ganga was split into twelve holy channels, with Alaknanda one of them. It later became the abode of Lord Vishnu or Badrinath.
On one side stands the mighty mountain Kamet. It is in the plain beyond the sweet Alaknanda, where another divine stream called Rishi Ganga, meandering through the plain round Kamet, joins the holy Alaknanda. It is in a most peaceful embrace that the two streams meet.
