The Kedarnath temple

The backdrop of the temple is Kedarnath, the snowy mountain from which Mandakini originates. At Rudraprayag, Mandakini will join Alaknanda which originates from Badrinath. The Chardham yatra is definitely about the sources of Ganga and the mountains that contain these sources. Way before scientists learned to monitor river sources, sages in India revered and indirectly monitored the sources of the Ganges. But this post is about the beautiful and serene temple where ceremonies happen all day and night. Where common people can access, do pooja, and even touch the Jyothirling. An environment that encourages a true communion with god.
