Architects and especially construction experts say that the entire construction of the Kedarnath temple is built on a square and wide platform 6 feet high. The main part of the temple is the mandapam and the sanctum sanctorum. Nandi is seated in the form of a vehicle in the outer courtyard. This temple has been worshiped publicly for over a thousand years. According to Rahul Sankrityayan it belongs to the twelfth-thirteenth century.
Not bricks but big stones have been used in its construction. The construction is done by shaping these stones so that they are interlocked with each other. As a result, despite the massive flood, these stones have been able to survive only because they are interlocked with each other.
It is also said that before the flood water came, a big stone fell at the back of the temple which acted as a barrier to the temple and the flood water hit this stone and flowed away. The new constructions that had been built around the temple, i.e. near the platform on which the temple is located, had become obsolete.
