Kedarnath is one of the most sacred pilgrimage of Lord Shiva situated in rudraprayag district of garhwal himalayas.

Lord Shiva is worshipped as Kedarnath, the 'Lord of Kedar Khand', the historical name of the region. ... The temple was built by Pandavas and revived by Adi Sankaracharya and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, the holiest Hindu shrines of Shiva. Kedarnath yatra is one of the toughest pilgrimage though completely constructed path.Pathway is 6 7 feet wide guarded with iron railing.What one can only hear is "Har Har Mahadev" which keeps everyone motivated throughout the yatra. The utterance of the sound "Shiva" attains a completely new dimension and significance in Kedar Valley. It is a space which has been specially prepared for this particular sound.
