Overview
- The Panch Kedar Yatra is a pilgrimage to the five ancient temples of Lord Shiva located in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. The five temples are Kedarnath, Madhmaheshwar, Tungnath, Rudranath, and Kalpeshwar. The group of five shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva is known as Panch Kedar, and it is considered the most special ones among all Shiva temples. The story behind it is fascinating!
- According to the Mahabharata, when the Pandavas were looking for Lord Shiva, he disguised himself as a bull so they couldn’t find him.. However, when Bheema attempted to capture the bull, it vanished and later reappeared as different body parts in five different locations.
- The hump reappeared in Kedarnath, the arms were found in Tungnath, the navel appeared in Madhyamaheshwar, the face showed up in Rudranath, and the hair and head emerged in Kalpeshwar. The Pandavas built temples at each of these sites to worship Lord Shiva. Today, people from all over the world visit these temples to pay their respects to the Lord.
- The Panch Kedar tour will give you a lifetime experience that will make you realize why Uttarakhand is renowned as the heaven on earth. You will have the opportunity to experience the natural beauty, witness magnificent peaks, enjoy majestic sunrises and sunsets, and seek blessings of Lord Shiva
