It is situated at an altitude of 3,581 mt & it is a 16 km trek from the nearest place of Gaurikund. Kedarnath is a Hindu shrine located in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, and it has a rich history and mythology associated with it. According to Hindu mythology, the Kedarnath temple was built by the Pandavas, the heroes of the Hindu epic, the Mahabharata, as a way to atone for their sins. Lord Shiva, who was being pursued by the Pandavas, took the form of a bull and disappeared into the ground at Kedarnath. The temple is believed to be built on the spot where Lord Shiva disappeared, and the lingam inside the temple is said to have been formed naturally by the elements of earth, air, water, and fire. In terms of its historical significance, the exact date of the construction of the Kedarnath temple is not known, but it is believed to be more than 1000 years old. The temple has undergone several renovations and rebuilding efforts throughout its history, due to natural disasters such as heavy snowfall, landslides, and earthquakes. The Kedarnath temple is considered one of the holiest places of pilgrimage for Hindus and is one of the four sacred shrines in India, known as the Char Dhams. Thousands of pilgrims visit Kedarnath every year to pay homage to Lord Shiva and seek his blessings.
