Five Temples of Panch Kedar
The five shrines of Panch Kedar are dedicated to Lord Shiva and located in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. Each of the sites represents a different feature of Lord Shiva’s body.
History: According to legend, it is believed that after the Kurukshetra war, the Pandavas sought the blessings of Lord Shiva to redeem themselves for their sins. However, Lord Shiva avoided meeting them and personified himself as a bull. When Bhima recognised him and tried to catch him, Lord Shiva disappeared into the ground, leaving different parts of his body at five different locations in the Garhwal Himalayas. Later, these five places became temples of Panch Kedar.
1. Kedarnath
Altitude: approx. 3,583 meters
Kedarnath is associated with the hump of Lord Shiva. It offers outdoor activities like trekking and climbing, and mountain views.
2. Madhyamaheshwar
Altitude: around 3,497 meters
It represents the navel of Lord Shiva. Around a 16- 18 km trek from Ransi Village is needed to reach the temple. It gives an experience of wilderness camping and trekking.
3. Tungnath
