Historical & Spiritual Significance of Kedarnath Temple

- Founded by the Pandavas during the Mahabharata era, Kedarnath is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva.
- It is believed that the Pandavas sought forgiveness from Shiva after the Kurukshetra war, and he appeared here in the form of a bull (Nandi). The hump of the bull is worshipped at Kedarnath.
- The present-day stone temple was revived by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century, who attained samadhi behind the temple.

�� The energy here is so pure, even silence feels sacred.
