According to legend, The Pandavas, the five brothers, were seeking redemption for the sins they committed during the Kurukshetra war. They needed to find Lord Shiva and seek his forgiveness to absolve themselves. However, Shiva was elusive and kept avoiding them. Finally, when the Pandavas arrived at Kedarnath, Shiva transformed into a bull and tried to hide in the ground. Bhima, one of The Pandava brothers, pursued Shiva and Shiva dived into the Earth. The Hump of Shiva remained above the Earth where the main Garbhagriha is built.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Cambria;\">The Temple is set to have been built by The Pandavas themselves or later by the legendary sage Adi Shankaracharya, who is credited with restoring and promoting the temple in the 8<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Cambria; font-size: 8px;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0century.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Cambria; font-size: 18px;\"><strong>Places to visit near Kedarnath<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"font-family: Cambria; text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Triyuginarayan Temple (Approx. 25 Km):<\/strong>\u00a0Believed to be the place where Lord Shiva and Goddess Paravati got married.
