Kedarnath: The Kedarnath shrine, one of Lord Shiva's 12 jyotirlingas, is perfectly framed by the scenic Kedarnath range. Kedar is another name for Lord Shiva, the protector and destroyer. According to legend, after defeating the Kaurava in the Kurukshetra War, the Pandavas felt guilty over killing their own brothers and prayed to Lord Shiva for pardon. He consistently avoided them and fled, taking sanctuary at Kedarnath as a bull. When he realised he was being pursued, he dove underground while still revealing his hump. The remaining parts of Lord Shiva appeared in four additional places and are worshipped as his incarnations. He dove beneath the ground, leaving his hump visible, when he sensed that he was being followed. Lord Shiva's remaining components made their appearances in four further locations, where they are revered as his incarnations. At Tungnath, the arms appeared, at Rudranath, the face, at Madhmaheshwar, and at Kalpeshwar, the belly. Panch Kedar refers to Kedarnath and the four sanctuaries mentioned above.
