Kedarnath has been a pilgrimage centre since ancient times.The temple’s construction is credited to the Pandava brothers mentioned in the Mahabharata<\/i>. However, the Mahabharata<\/i> does not mention any place called Kedarnath. One of the earliest references to Kedarnath occurs in the Skanda Purana<\/i> (c. 7th-8th century), which names Kedara (Kedarnath) as the place where Lord Shiva released the holy waters of Ganga from his matted hair, resulting in the formation of the Ganges river.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″] [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The 4 holy\u00a0pilgrim spots: Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri,\u00a0and Yamunotri, collectively known as Char\u00a0Dham is considered one of the most scared\u00a0Yatras in our country.
