The Essence of Kedarnath

The Upanishads describe Lord Shiva, also known as Kedar, as the embodiment of the universe, with the sky as his head, sun and moon as his eyes, and the wind as his breath. This divine being is the essence of our itinerary, set amidst the breathtaking mountainscape of the Garhwal Himalayas.

Kedarnath Temple

Located at the head of the Mandakini River, Kedarnath Temple is one of the holiest pilgrimages for devout Hindus. Surrounded by snow-covered mountains and verdant meadows, the temple is a scenic marvel. The lofty Kedar Dome peak towers behind the temple, visible from afar.

History and Significance

Kedarnath has been a pilgrimage center since ancient times, with the temple's construction credited to the Pandava brothers from the Mahabharata. The Skanda Purana (7th-8th century) mentions Kedarnath as the place where Lord Shiva released the holy waters of Ganga from his matted hair. Adi Shankaracharya, the 8th-century philosopher, is said to have died near Kedarnath, with ruins marking his resting place.

Location and Accessibility

Kedarnath is a town in Rudraprayag district, Uttarakhand, approximately 86 km from Rudraprayag. The nearest road head is at Gaurikund, 22 km away.
