Kedarnath is the most far-off of the four Chota Char Dham pilgrimage sites. It is located inside the Himalayas, approximately 3,583 m (11,755 toes) above sea stage near the Chorabari Glacier, the Mandakini River's supply. The metropolis is flanked using snow-capped peaks, maximum prominently Kedarnath Mountain. The nearest avenue head is at Gaurikund about 16 km away. The metropolis suffered huge destruction in June 2013 from the flash Floods as a result of torrential rains in Uttarakhand state.
After the great battle of Kurukshetra, the starving Pandavas went to the holy city of Kasi to pay their final respects to Lord Shiva for having killed so many of their kinsmen. The moment Lord Shiva heard of the Pandavas coming, he fled and, most amusingly, hid from them.
The Pandavas discovered Shiva in the Himalayas, in a place called Gupta Kasi (“Hidden Kasi”), where he had disguised himself as a Brahmana. Having been found out, Lord Shiva ran away to a valley and disguised himself as a bull, but Bhima recognized him. Bhima stretched his big legs from one end of the valley to the other and caught the bull by its tail. Lord Shiva, still trying to hide, began to bury himself in the ground. But the determination of the Pandavas won him over, and before the bull’s hump had disappeared, he decided to give them his audience.
Lord Shiva instructed the Pandavas to worship the hump of the bull, and this worship is still going on in the temple they established. Other parts of Lord Shiva’s body appeared in other mountains, and the Pandavas also built temples there. They are known as PanchKedars (five Kedars):
