Kedarkantha is one of the most important areas of religion, particularly in Hindu mythology. The Lord Kedarkantha Temple, which is located at the base of the summit, was tested and revered by people of the spirit. Millions of pilgrims move mountains to pray and seek blessings every year from the Hindu Deity.
The temple, facing Kedar Parvat, is located at the base of the Kedarnath Peak. Kedarkantha is particularly beautiful during the winter months as a beginner-level trek. One of the most outstanding ridges of the Himalayans is to enjoy the experiences of nature lovers and ardent walkers.
History of Kedarkantha
Uttarakhand is generally split with great religious attractions. Avatar Bull Lord Shiv walked around the area. His way to escape the Pandavas was reached and he meditated in his disguise in the valley. But he was fleeing from Kedarkantha to Kedarnath once his peace was disturbed by the locals.
In addition, Lord Trishul says locally that the place is protected from being destroyed by being erected in the valley. In 2013, the valley suffered great loss due to huge inondations but Kedarnath temple was not harmed. There was ample evidence of their belief. Their belief was great.
