The locals believe that Parvati resided in the Gauri Kund while conducting the ascetic and yogic practices toappease Lord Shiva.

Kedar Yatra : First trekking of my life

We had to cover almost 14 km to reach that place. This journey is not suitable for old people so they can book horse or palki by which they reach that place.
 

 

 
The beauty of that place mesmerizing us and we almost travel 7 hour to reach that place and after 7 km there is place where you can eat some food. If you are nature lovers then please go on foot. It will be an amazing experience. On the way to the Kedarnath we had seen different natural beauty of that place and that was is so much pleasant for us.
 

 

Divine place:-

This is the one of the pilgrim among the 4 pilgrims in India and this is known as 4 Dham. The temple is surrounding by the mountain and these mountains had covered by snow, so the scenery was exquisite for us. We had forgotten our tiredness to saw that beauty of that place. SRI KEDARNATH ‘Pooja’ was done through ‘panda’ available inside the temple. Outside the temple a statue of Nandi Bull stands as Guard. Although we went that place in 2006 but after the natural disaster in 2013 the place was totally changed. This journey was always special for me.

After visiting the Kedarnath we came back at again Gourikund and from Gourikund we again stated our journey towards the Badrinath. At first we had visited at ‘Triyugi Narayan Temple.’ ‘The ancient temple is dedicated to god Vishnu. A special feature of this temple is a perpetual fire that burns in front of the temple. The flame is believed to burn from the times of the divine marriage. Thus, the temple is also known as Akhand Dhuni temple. Beside the temple there is a sinks for tacking the bath. The word “Triyugi Narayan” is formed of three words “tri” means three, “yugi” denotes the period of time, “Yuga” and “Narayan” is another name of Vishnu. In evening we visited this temple and that time the light was very low but still the ancient temple was looking beautiful.

After visited Triyugi Narayan Temple, We stayed at night, Guptakashi. Next Day We begin our journey toward ‘Joshi Math’ from ‘Gupta Kashi’
