The legend has that there was a demon named Sahasrakavacha, who has 1000 armours to shield him. He was harassing the deities and Rishis in their Yagna and Tapas. Lord Vishnu took the form of Sage Nara and Narayana and underwent severe penance for the welfare of the living entities. The demon appeared before the Sage Nara Narayana as an obstruction. This arrogant action of the demon provoked the Sage to enter into a ferocious battle. At the end, Nara Narayana heaved his 1000 armours and beheaded the demon, from then they stood as two mountain ranges on the both the sides of the temple.
While Lord Vishnu was performing Tapasya, Lord Indra sent the two celestial dancers Ramba and Menaka to put an obstacle. In return, Lord Vishnu created the most beautiful woman - Urvasi ( as she came out of the thigh (Uru) of Lord, she has got the name - Urvasi) from His thigh and sent back to Lord Indra. The temple is located on the top of Urvasi Peetam.
A dasi - Vishnuvathi, who had a child named Vishnumanas. He was an ardent devotee of Lord Hari. He engaged himself in singing and praising the glory of Lord Narayana and he spent his life wandering and singing praising the glory of the Lord. Finally he arrived at Badri. Lord Badri Narayana pleased at Vishnumanas devotion offered him boons. They were: He would be born as Narada an intellectual, he would abstain from all the worldly pleasures and live a life of celibate and capable to move around the world at his will.
The demon King Prahlada (son of Hiranya Kashipu) arrived at the Badri and found Sage Nara Narayana undergoing severe penance. He mistook the Sage as an intruder and a battle broke out between them. Sage Nara Narayana revealed His real form to Prahlada. After realizing the truth, Prahalad felt ashamed of his ignorance and underwent penance here.
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
