| Among
the Panch Kedars Kedarnath is said to be the holiest and most sacred. Standing
at the head of the Mandakini valley, Kedarnath is ringed by lofty Himalayan
peaks providing the most stunning setting. Over a thousand years old, majestic
in style and in architecture the temple is built of massive stone slabs
over a large rectangular platform. One of the twelve Jyotirlingas this temple
is one of the holiest shrine in India. A gilded pinnacle tops the structure
and the large gray steps of the temple have inscriptions in Pali or Brahmi. 6 Kilometers from Kedarnath lies the crystal clear lake Vasuki Tal. Glistening blocks of ice float on its waters. The lake is in the most beautiful setting with the Himalayan peaks close by. |
