A little context changes everything
The sacred landscape of Kedarnath
Kedarnath belongs to several overlapping pilgrimage traditions: the Char Dham of Uttarakhand, the Panch Kedar temples and the twelve Jyotirlingas. Temple traditions connect the shrine with the Pandavas and Adi Shankaracharya. These are living religious traditions, not a single archaeologically established construction date. Learning about the shrine before visiting gives its mountain setting a deeper meaning.
