Kedarnath Temple

Kedarnath Temple stands as a Hindu worship place devoted to Lord  Shiva. The temple is around the Mandakini River in Uttarakhand, India, on the Garhwal Himalayan range. Due to the severe temperature, the temple is only open to the general public from April to November (Akshaya Tritiya) (Kartik Purnima, the full autumn moon). The vigraha (deity) from the Kedarnath temple is brought down to Ukhimath during the winter months, where it is revered for the next six months. Kedarnath is seen as a single manifestation of Shiva, the 'Lord of Kedarkhand,' as the region's historical name suggests.

History Of Kedarnath 

According to legend, the Pandavas went to Lord Shiva to absolve themselves of the guilt of murdering their blood relations. Shiva, on the other hand, did not want them to be forgiven for their transgressions, so he disguised himself as a bull and roamed the Garhwal Himalayas. Shiva dove underground after being discovered by the Pandavas. Bhim was barely able to hold on to his hump. Shiva's bodily parts in the form of a bull appeared in various locations. The bull's hump was discovered in Kedarnath, the navel was discovered in Madhya-Maheshwar, two forelegs were discovered in Tunganath, the face was discovered in Rudranath, and the hair was discovered in Kalpeshwar. The Panch Kedar - the five sacred locations - is the name given to them all. According to legend, the original Pandavas erected the temple of Kedarnath, and the current temple was built by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century A.D., who restored the shrine's splendor.
