Kedarnath Temple is a Hindu temple (shrine) dedicated to Shiva. Located on the Garhwal
Himalayan range near the Mandakini River, Kedarnath is located in the state of Uttarakhand,
India.
Due to extreme weather conditions, the temple is open to the general public only between the
months of April (Akshaya Tritiya) and November (Kartik Purnima, the autumn full moon).
During the winters, the vigraha (deity) from Kedarnath temple is carried down to Ukhimath and
where the deity is worshiped for the next six months. Kedarnath is seen as a homogenous form
of Shiva, the ‘Lord of Kedarkhand’, the historical name of the region.
The temple is not directly accessible by road and has to be reached by a 22 kilometers (14 mi)
uphill trek from Gaurikund. Pony and manchan service is available to reach the structure.
According to Hindu legends, the temple was initially built by Pandavas, and is one of the twelve
Jyotirlingas, the holiest Hindu shrines of Shiva. Pandavas were supposed to have pleased Shiva
by doing penance in Kedarnath. The temple is one of the four major sites in India’s Chota Char
Dham pilgrimage of Northern Himalayas. This temple is the highest among the 12 Jyotirlingas.
