About Kedarnath Dham – One of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva
Kedarnath Temple, located at an altitude of approximately 3,583 meters, is one of the most sacred temples in Hinduism and an integral part of the Char Dham Yatra. Nestled in the breathtaking Garhwal Himalayas, the temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is believed to have been established by Adi Shankaracharya.
