Kedarnath:
The Kedarnath shrine, one of the 12 jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, is a scenic spot
situated, against the backdrop of the majestic Kedarnath range. Kedar is another
name of Lord Shiva, the protector and the destroyer. According to legend, the
Pandavas after having won over the Kaurava in the Kurukshetra war, felt guilty
of having killed their own brothers and sought the blessings of Lord Shiva for
redemption. He eluded them repeatedly and while fleeing took refuge at Kedarnath
in the form of a bull. On being followed he dived into the ground, leaving his
hump on the surface. The remaining portions of Lord Shiva appeared at four other
places and are worshipped there as his manifestations. The arms appeared at Tungnath,
the face at Rudranath, the belly at Madhmaheshwar and his locks (hair) with head
at Kalpeshwar. Kedarnath and the four above-mentioned shrines are treated as Panch
Kedar.
