Rudraprayag (Uttarakhand) [India]: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, along with his wife Geeta Dhami, offered prayers at the Kedarnath temple after the temple doors were opened on Friday (May 6) morning following years old traditional ritual of Vedic chanting.

Thousands of devotees were present on the occasion of the opening of the doors of Kedarnath Dham, one of the country’s 12 Jyotirlingas. The temple doors opened following years old traditional ritual of Vedic chanting. The temple has been decked with 15 quintals of flowers. The portals of the temple closed in winter for six months on November 6 last year.

Located on the bank of the Mandakini river, Kedarnath Temple is one of the four ancient pilgrimage sites referred to as ‘Char Dham’, including Yamunotri, Gangotri, and Badrinath. Built-in the eighth century AD by Jagad Guru Adi Shankaracharya, Kedarnath Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva.

The annual Chardham Yatra began on May 3 on the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya with the opening of the portals of Gangotri and Yamunotri temples in the Uttarkashi district. Portals of Badrinath Temple will open on May 8.

Earlier this month, the state government capped the number of pilgrims visiting the Char Dhams. A total of 15,000 pilgrims will be allowed daily at Badrinath, 12,000 at Kedarnath, 7,000 at Gangotri and 4,000 at Yamunotri. This arrangement has been made for 45 days.

This year, it is not mandatory for pilgrims to carry a negative COVID-19 test report or vaccination certificate.

Char Dhams draw lakhs of tourists and devotees every year from across the country and abroad. (ANI)
