जय बजरंगबली 🙏🚩 Image
The mandir here is small, a pretty neat structure but the murti of Anjaneyar ji here is huge, about 16 feet in height made of Saligrama stone. Image
Hanuman ji here stands with His hands folded and with his mace -'Gadha' resting on his legs.

His eyes are like dark marbles which sparkle and gives a feeling as if he is looking at his Bhaktss wherever they stand.

It is a symbol of our unwavering faith from time Immortal!!

Har Har Mahadev 🙏🚩
Kedarnath Mandir
Kedarnath #Uttarakhand

It is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas

Due to extreme weather conditions, it is open only between AkshayaTritiya to Kartik Purnima
During winters the vigraha is carried down to Ukhimath and where vigrah is worshiped for the next 6 months.
There was a time when there was no proper way towards the Mandir.

But still the faith and the devotion of Bhakts was so strong that they used to face every difficulty to have darshan of baba kedarnath.
