Kedarnath Temple, Hindu temple in Rudraprayag District, India.
The temple stands at 3,583 meters in the Garhwal Himalayan range, featuring a pyramidal stone structure with a black lingam at its center.
The temple's reconstruction in the 8th century CE by philosopher Adi Shankara followed earlier structures attributed to the Pandava brothers of Mahabharata.
This temple forms part of the Char Dham pilgrimage circuit and contains one of the twelve sacred Jyotirlinga sites dedicated to Lord Shiva.
The temple remains open from April to November, while winter closure occurs due to heavy snowfall in the Himalayan region.
The temple survived a catastrophic flood in 2013 that altered the surrounding landscape, leading to extensive reconstruction of the surrounding infrastructure.
