Explore Our PANCH KEDAR YATRA

Among the sacred pilgrimage traditions of India, few journeys hold the spiritual depth and significance of the Panch Kedar Yatra. Set amidst the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand, the Panch Kedar comprises five ancient temples dedicated to Lord Shiva—Kedarnath, Tungnath, Rudranath, Madhyamaheshwar, and Kalpeshwar. According to the Mahabharata, the Pandavas sought Lord Shiva's forgiveness after the Kurukshetra war. Shiva, unwilling to meet them, assumed the form of a bull and disappeared into the Himalayas. When the Pandavas recognised him, different parts of the divine form manifested across five locations, which became the Panch Kedar shrines.
