Highlights

केदारनाथं शरणं प्रपद्ये हिमगिरौ शीतलमन्दिरे ।
त्रैलोक्यनाथं शम्भुं वन्दे भक्ताभयप्रदम् ॥
यत्र गङ्गा प्रवहति पुण्या मोक्षमार्गप्रकाशिनी ।
तत्र मे हृदि नित्यं वासो भवतु शङ्करस्य ॥

Kedarnath, nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, is one of the most revered pilgrimage sites in India. Home to the sacred Kedarnath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, it is part of the Char Dham and Panch Kedar yatras. Located at an altitude of 3,583 meters near the Mandakini River, the temple is surrounded by snow-capped peaks and breathtaking landscapes. Accessible by a scenic trek, Kedarnath offers not just spiritual solace but also a deeply moving experience amidst nature’s grandeur. The region holds immense mythological significance and draws devotees, trekkers, and nature lovers alike every year.

"O devotees of Mahadev, the mighty Himalayas call with the roar of divinity
Kedarnath is not just a temple, it is the eternal abode of Lord Shiva, where faith meets liberation.
Come, let us walk together on this sacred path, where every step resounds with “Har Har Mahadev” and blessings flow like the Ganga."
