Info and History :
Badrinath
- Cradled in the twin mountain ranges of Nar and Narayan
is the holiest of the four main shrines, Badrinath along
the left bank of river Alaknanda. With the splendid Neelkanth
mountains as the backdrop, it is an important destination
on the sacred itinerary of every devout Hindu. Once the
spot was carpeted with 'badris' or wild berries and hence
was famous as 'Badri Van'.
The
temple of Shri Badrinathji on the banks of the Alaknanda
river, dates back to the vedic times. Situated at an altitude
of 3133 mts., the present temple is believed to have been
built by Adi Guru Shankracharya - an 8th century's philosopher-saint,
who also established a 'math' here. Also known as 'Vishal
Badri', Badrinath is one of the Panch Badris'.
Kedarnath
- Amidst the dramatic mountainscapes of the majestic
Kedarnath range stands one of the twelve 'Jyotirlingas'
of Kedar or Lord Shiva. Lying at an altitude of 3584 mts.
on the head of river Mandakini, the shrine of Kedarnath
is amongst the holiest pilgrimages for the Hindus.The
origin of the revered temple can be found in the great
epic - Mahabharata. According to legend, the Pandavas
sought the blessings of Lord Shiva to atone their sins
after the battle of Mahabharata. Lord shiva eluded them
repeatedly and while fleeing took refuge at Kedarnath
in the form of a bull. On being followed, HE dived into
the ground, leaving behind HIS hump on the surface. This
conical protrusion is worshipped as the idol in the shrine.
The
remaining portions of Lord Shiva are worshipped at four
other places - the arms (bahu) at Tungnath, mouth (mukh)
at Rudranath, navel (nabhi) at Madmaheshwar and hair(jata)
at Kalpeshwar. Together with Kedarnath, these places are
known as the Panch Kedar.
