Kedarnath Temple, nestled in the majestic Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, India, is one of the holiest pilgrimage sites for Hindus. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this ancient temple is part of the revered Char Dham Yatra and stands at an elevation of 3,583 meters, surrounded by breathtaking snow-capped peaks.
Believed to be over a thousand years old, the temple’s origins trace back to the Pandavas of the Mahabharata era, who sought Lord Shiva’s blessings to atone for their sins. The temple’s striking stone architecture, built without mortar, has withstood the test of time and natural calamities, including the devastating floods of 2013.
