The Kedarnath Temple, also called Kēdāranātha Mandira, is famously known as the Temple of God of the Field. Located in the Garhwal region of the Himalayas near the Mandakini River in Uttarakhand, it is one of the twelve sacred Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Kedarnath is a fierce Hindu temple, attracting pilgrims from all over India and the world.
Due to the extreme Himalayan weather, the Kedarnath Temple is open to the public from April to November, especially during:
Akshaya Tritiya
Kartik Purnima (Autumn’s Full Moon)
During winters, the Vigraha (Deity of the temple) is moved to Ukhimath for worship. Kedarnath is revered as a form of Lord Shiva, titled the ‘Lord of Kedarkhand’.
Traditionally, reaching Kedarnath requires a 22 km uphill trek from Gaurikund, with optional services like pony, mule, or manchan. However, for pilgrims who prefer convenience and comfort, Kedarnath helicopter services are the ideal choice.
According to Hindu legends, the Pandavas initially built the temple. As one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, it is among the holiest shrines of Lord Shiva. The temple also holds historical significance in Chota Chaar Dham and Panch Kedar pilgrimages.
The temple is recognized in 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams, mentioned in the sacred Tamil Shaivite text Tevaram (6th–7th century), written by 63 saints called Nayanars, including:
Thirugnanasambandar
Appar
Sundarar
Sekkizhar
The 2013 flash floods caused extensive damage to Kedarnath town and surrounding areas. The temple structure remained mostly intact, saved by a large rock among debris. Swift government action helped reconstruct nearby settlements.
For those unable to trek the long uphill route, Kedarnath helicopter services are now the most preferred mode of transport. Thousands of pilgrims from across India and internationally choose this service for:
