Kedarnath temple is situated in the beautiful Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand – Rudraprayag in the lap of the Himalayas, Kedarnath Dham is a significant part of the Chardham Yatra. Kedarnath Dham is also one of the twelve jyotirlingas of Shiva. According to Hindu mythology, it is said that Kedarnath Dham was built by Pandavas to please Lord Shiva by doing forfeit in Kedarnath and relief from the guilt of killing their relatives. Lord Shiva was pursued by the Pandavas as he didn’t want to meet them and took the form of a bull. It is said that Kedarnath is the spot where Lord Shiva disappeared as a bull. On being known by the Pandavas, Lord Shiva dove underground from the spot, where Bheem could only manage to get hold of his hump. Other body parts of Shiva in the form of a bull showed up at different places. The temple at Kedarnath is said to be built at the spot where the hump of the bull is believed to have appeared.
The holy Dham of Lord Vishnu Badrinath is situated at a height of around 3100m, located in the lap of the Garhwal Himalayas near the bank of river Alaknanada.
