Deemed to be erected by a great philosopher Adi Shankaracharya during the 8th century, Kedarnath Temple is among the few shrines in northern India that requires an arduous trek to take the blessings of the Lord Shiva.
The legend has it that after the battle of Kurukshetra, Pandavas of Mahabharata’s went on a journey to Varanasi to seek blessings from the Lord as they were guilty of killing their own kith and kin. However, Lord Shiva avoided meeting them, thus hiding himself in Guptakashi. When Pandavas found him, Lord Shiva decided to take the form of buffalo so that they couldn’t recognize him. Seeing them coming closer Lord made a decision to become invisible by going underground. While doing that one of the five Pandavas, Bhima made a great effort in stopping him by holding on to the legs and tail of the bull. Unfortunately, the Lord dived and evaporated at that place leaving behind his hump which is now worshipped at Kedarnath Temple.
