Standing aristocratically among the snow-capped mountains, Kedarnath Temple is a regal sight. One of Lord Shiva's 12 jyotirlingas is the shrine. Due to significant snowfall, the Kedarnath Temple opens on Akshaya Tritiya (end of April or first week of May) and shuts on Bhai Duj (end of October or first week of November). Inside the temple, a pointed rock formation is revered as Lord Shiva in his Sadashiva avatar. With its gigantic stone slab construction on a wide rectangular platform, this temple is a marvel of architecture.

One of the earliest mentions of the Kedarnath temple may be found in the Skanda Puran (c. 7th–c. 8th century), which identified Kedarnath as the site where Lord Shiva released the sacred water that would later create the Ganga from his matted hair. You arrive at the Kedarnath shrine in the Garhwal Himalayan region close to the Mandakini River after finishing the Kedarnath Yatra package. This temple is only accessible to pilgrims for a short time because to the severe weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Which season is ideal for visiting Kedarnath?

Ans. When Akshay Tritiya arrives in April, the entrance to the sanctuary opens, making this the best and optimal time to visit Kedarnath Dham. Therefore, the sanctuary's entrance closes once more from April to May, then from September to October, and finally after October when the Bhai Dooj/Dwitiya celebration is in full swing.

Q. What is the length of the Kedarnath trek and how is it accomplished?

Ans. Gaurikund, which is almost 17 kilometres away, is where the Kedarnath Dham trek starts.
