Amidst the mountainscapes of the
majestic Kedarnath range stands one of the twelve ' Jyotirlingas' of
Kedar or Lord shiva. Lying at an altitude of 3.581 mts. Above sea
level on the head of river Mandakini, the shrine of Kedarnath is
amongst the holiest pilgrimage for the Hindus. The origin of the revered temple can be found in the great epic - Mahabharata. According to legend. Kedarnath Temple the Pandavas sought the blessings of Lord Shiva to atone their sins fafter the battle of Mahabharata. Lord Shiva eluded them repetedly and while fleeing took refuge at Kedarnath in the form of a bull. On being followed HE dived into the ground, leaving behind HIS hump on the surface. This conical protrusion is worshipped as the idol on the shrine. The remaining portions of Lord Shiva are worshipped at four places the arms (bahu) at Tungnath, mouth (mukha) at Rudranath, naval (nabhi) at Madmaheshwar and hair (jata) at Kalpeshwar. Together with Kedarnath, these places are known as the panch Kedar. |
