Kedarnath

Kedarnath is located at a height of 3,581 m above sea level, at the head of Mandakini River. This temple of Kedarnath was constructed in 8th century and is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas and Panch Kedars of Lord Shiva.

While seeking repentance after killing the Kauravas, Lord Shiva disguised himself to escape recognition from the Pandavas. When Lord Shiva dived into the ground, a hump was left, which is now worshipped in the temple. It is also believed that the temple has been constructed by the Pandavas. The interiors of the temple are carved with  images and the idol of Nandi bull is placed at the entrance of the temple.

Bhairav Temple, Samadhi of Adi Shakaracharya and Gandhi Sarovar at Chorabari Tal are some of the sites located in  proximity.
