Kedarnath Temple
About Kedarnath Temple
Kedarnath Temple stands as a homogeneous manifestation of Shiva, revered as the 'Lord of Kedarkhand,' the historical designation of this Himalayan region. Located near the Mandakini river in Uttarakhand's Garhwal range, the temple ranks as the eleventh of the twelve Jyotirlingas and forms a crucial component of the Char Dham pilgrimage circuit. The sanctuary operates seasonally, welcoming devotees between April and November when weather permits access. During winter months, the temple's deity is ceremonially transferred to Ukhimath (Omkareshwar Temple) for six months of worship, a practice reflecting the region's severe alpine climate. The temple committee manages comprehensive pilgrimage services including advance puja bookings, accommodation arrangements, and vehicle permits for visitors undertaking this sacred journey.
