History of Kedarnath Temple

Kedarnath Dham

As the legend goes, Pandavas, the five famous characters of Mahabharata, the greatest epic, are said to have sought Lord Shiva’s redemption after winning the battle of Kurukshetra. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva evaded him in the Himalayas by disguising himself as a buffalo. The Pandavas could only manage a glimpse of Lord Shiva in a few holy places in the Himalayas and Kedarnath Dham is one of those places. Kedarnath Temple is the place where the hump of the buffalo was seen.
