Kedarnath temple miracle, Kedarnath Mandir is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Located on the Garhwal Himalayan range near the Mandakini river, Kedarnath is located in the state of Uttarakhand, India.
Call it a miracle but the Nandi statue and the other idols in the temple were intact even after the Kedarnath Tragedy last year. In fact, those pilgrims who were in the temple during the tragedy also survived. But the destruction all around the temple had been terrible as the real death toll in the floods and cloudburst was huge.
A year after the famous Kedarnath shrine witnessed high scale destruction due to cloud bursting and flash floods, the doors of the temple were re-opened on Sunday. The temple is an important part of the 'Char Dham' yatra. The annual pilgrimage had begun on Friday with the re-opening of the sacred portals of the Himalayan shrines of Gangotri and Yamunotri for devotees. Last year, massive flash floods in various parts of Uttarakhand had left hundreds of people dead and many others stranded for many days. The shrine of Shiva, visited by Hindu pilgrims from across the world, virtually submerged in mud and slush. The temple has now been restored by the authorities.
