Kedarnath Temple (Kedarnath Temple) is a Hindu temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. This temple is located on the Garhwal Himalaya ranges near the Mandakini river in the state of Uttarakhand, India. Due to extreme weather conditions, the temple remains open to the general public only between the months of April (Akshaya Tritiya) and November (Karthik Purnima, Sharad Purnima). During winters, the Vigraha (deity) from Kedarnath Temple is taken to Ukhimath where the deity is worshipped for the next six months. Kedarnath (Kedarnath) is seen as the equivalent of Shiva, the historical name of the region 'Lord of Kedarkhand'.
The temple is not directly accessible by road and can be reached on a 22-kilometre (14 mi) climb from Gaurikund. Pony and Manchan service is available to reach the structure. According to Hindu legends, the temple was initially built by the Pandavas, and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, the holiest Hindu shrines of Shiva. It is believed that the Pandavas had pleased Shiva by doing penance at Kedarnath. This temple is one of the four major sites of the Chota Char Dham pilgrimage in the northern Himalayas of India and the first of the Panch Kedar pilgrimage sites. This temple is the tallest among the 12 Jyotirlingas.

Kedarnath Mahadev was the most affected area in North India during the flash floods of 2013. There was extensive damage to the temple complex, surrounding areas and the city of Kedarnath, but no "major" damage to the temple structure, apart from some cracks on one side of the four walls that were caused by debris flowing from the high mountains. A large rock amidst the rubble acted as a barrier to protect the temple from flooding. There has been heavy damage to the surrounding campus and other buildings in the market area.
It is one of the 275 Padal Petra Sthalams, a sacred Tamil Shaivite text described in Theevaram, written by 63 sages named Nayanars during the 6th and 7th centuries AD. This temple is sung by Thirugnanasambandar, Appar, Sundarar and Sekkijhar in their Thevaram texts.

The temple, at an altitude of 3,583 meters (11,755 ft), 223 km (139 mi) from Rishikesh, on the banks of the Mandakini River, a tributary of the Ganges, is a stone building of unknown date. It is not certain who built the original Kedarnath temple and when. The name "Kedarnath" means "lord of the field": it is derived from the Sanskrit words kedar ("field") and nath ("lord"). The Kashi Kedar Mahatmya text states that it is so called because the "harvest of salvation" grows here.
Several folk tales are narrated related to the construction of the Garhwal region, Lord Shiva and Panch Kedar temples.

A folk tale about Panch Kedar pertains to the Pandavas, the heroes of the Hindu epic Mahabharata. In the epic Kurukshetra war the Pandavas defeated and killed their cousins - the Kauravas. They wanted to atone for the sins of brotherhood (cow slaughter) and brahmanhatya (killing of brahmins - the priestly class) during the war. Thus, he handed over the reins of his kingdom to his kin and set out in search of Lord Shiva and to seek his blessings. First, they went to the holy city of Varanasi (Kashi), which is believed to be Shiva's favorite city and is known for its Kashi Vishwanath temple. But, Shiva wanted to avoid them as he was very angry with the death and dishonesty in the Kurukshetra war and, therefore, was insensitive to the prayers of the Pandavas. Therefore, he took the form of a bull (Nandi) and hid in the Garhwal region.
