Kedarnath Significance
Kedarnath is a pious site located in the serene Garhwal Himalayas. The sacred Temple is a part of the Chhota Dham circuit, a Jyotirlinga, and is also one of the Panch Kedars. It's frequented by many Shaivites and ardent devotees for a good part of the year.
Once Pandavas were chasing Lord Shiva. He came to Kedarnath to avoid them. However, Bheema almost caught him. But the God took the form of bull; dived into the ground and disappeared, leaving his hump behind. The Pandavas built a temple at this place, which is now the esteemed location of Kedarnath.
