Why did the video catch people’s attention?

This ancient temple of the eighth century is dedicated to the face of Lord Shiva and being situated at an altitude of 3,600 meters, it is considered to be the most difficult temple to reach among the Panch Kedars. The peace and divinity seen in the video has touched the hearts of people. Let us tell you that Rudranath is the fourth temple of Panch Kedar Yatra, it comes after Kedarnath, Tungnath and Madhyamaheshwar. From here, there are spectacular views of Himalayan peaks like Nanda Devi, Trishul and Nanda Ghunti, which make the place more special.
Unique confluence of faith
According to tradition, Gopeshwar, the symbol of Lord Shiva, is brought here in winter. Devotees reach Pitrudhar via Panar and Lute Bugyal. While they worship their ancestors, a huge fair is organized here on Shravan Purnima and devotees complete their journey by taking bath in Surya Kund, Chandra Kund, Tara Kund and Mana Kund. Whereas Rudranath’s track is not easy. It can be reached through three main routes – Helang, Sagar village and Mandal village. Dense forests, open forests and high mountains make this track memorable. Whereas this track lasts for 4 to 5 days.
