Kedarnath:
Set in the beautiful mandakini valley, cupped by lofty peaks, the majestic kedarnath temple stands on a glacial terrace, remnant of an ancient glacier – long since melted. This is lord shiv’s territory – and the region is a living testimony to his adventures and exploits. The temple is believed to have been built by the pandavs, protagonists of the mahabharata, as a tribute to lord shiv having forgiven them for fratricide after an exciting chase through the himalayas. The journey to kedarnath – the most significant of the 12 jyotirlings located in different parts of india -- is to relive these ancient tales and legends, and to become one with god.
Badrinath:
The badrinath shrine is believed to be as old as time itself. Dedicated to lord Vishnu, this temple was re-established by adi shankaracharya in the 8th century as part of his mission to revitalize hinduism. Located on the banks of the rishi ganga (alaknanda), the temple, and the numerous ancient sites around it, is
Indeed a worthy goal to aim for. The last 11 kilometers to badrinath is a steep ascent. At devdarshni, the vista of the entire badrinath valley appears before you – the township, the magnificent façade of the temple and the twin peaks nar and narayan as if standing guard on its either side, and the neelkanth shining like a crown on its head! And immediately you feel the spiritual upliftment that such a magnificent site inspires.
