About Kedarnath
Kedarnath is the seat of Lord Shiva. It is one of the twelve "Jyotirlingas" of Lord Shiva.
Lying at an altitude of 3584 m at the head of river Mandakini, the shrine of Kedarnath is
amongst the holiest pilgrimage for the Hindus. It is no wonder that Adi Guru Shankaracharya
- a great scholar & saint, chose to enshrine Lord Shiva in this land, where the unholy
becomes oly and the holy becomes holier. It is the place where Lord Shiva absolved Pandavas
from the sin of killing their own cousins Kauravas in the battle of Kurukshetra. The origin
of the revered temple can be found in the great epic Mahabharat.
