Kedarnath is a town and Nagar Panchayat in Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand India known primarily for the Kedarnath Temple It is approximately 86 kilometres from Rudraprayag the district headquarter Kedarnath is the most remote of the four Chota Char Dham pilgrimage sites It is located in the Himalayas about 3583 m 11755 ft above sea level near the Chorabari Glacier which is the source of the Mandakini river The town is flanked by snow capped peaks most prominently the Kedarnath Mountain The nearest road head is at Gaurikund about 16 km away The town suffered extensive destruction during June 2013 from the Flash Floods caused by torrential rains in Uttarakhand state

Kedarnath is a pilgrimage site or tirtha dedicated to the Hindu deity Shiva It is one of the four pilgrimage spots that form a part of the Uttarkhand Char Dham yatra or Chota Char Dham yatra The temple construction is credited to the Pandava brothers mentioned in the Mahabharata However the Mahabharata does not mention any place called Kedarnath One of the earliest references to Kedarnath occurs in the Skanda Purana c 7th-8th century which names Kedara Kedarnath as the place where Shiva released the holy waters of Ganga from his matted hair resulting in the formation of the Ganges River
According to the hagiographies based on Madhava Sankshepa Shankara Vijaya the 8th century philosopher Adi Shankaracharya died near the Kedarnath mountains although other hagiographies based on Anandagiri Prachina Shankara Vijayastate that he died at Kanchipuram The ruins of a monument marking the purported resting place of Adi Shankaracharya are located at Kedarnath Kedarnath was definitely a prominent pilgrimage centre by the 12th century when it is mentioned in Kritya kalpataru written by the Gahadavala minister Bhatta Lakshmidhara

Kedarnath is located at a distance of 223 km from Rishikesh in Uttarakhand and close to the source of the Mandakini River at the height of 3583 m 11755 ft above sea level The township is built on a barren stretch of land on the shores of Mandakini river The surrounding scenery of the Himalayas and green pastures makes it a very attractive place for pilgrimage and trekking Behind the town and the Kedarnath Temple stands the majestic Kedarnath peak at 6940 m 22769 ft the Kedar Dome at 6831 m 22411 ft and other peaks of the range

The Kedarnath Temple is closed during the winter months due to heavy snowfall For six months from November to April the palanquin with the Utsava Murti Idol of Kedarnath and of the Madhyamaheshwar Temple is brought to the Omkareshwar Temple in Ukhimath near Guptakashi Priests and other summer time residents also move to nearby villages to cope with the winter Around 360 families of the Tirtha Purohit of 55 villages and other nearby villages are dependent on the town for livelihood According to the Köppen Geiger climate classification system Kedarnath climate is monsoon influenced subarctic climate Dwc bordering a uniform rainfall subarctic climate Dfc with mild rainy summers and cold snowy winters

After the floods, the Government of India decided to provide a flood free infrastructure plan for the town This involves

Construction of the main approach to the Kedarnath Temple
Development of the Adi Shankaracharya Kutir and Museum
