Panch Kedar, which translates to “Five Kedars,” refers to the five sacred Hindu temples dedicated to Lord Shiva, scattered across the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand in India. These temples hold immense religious and cultural importance and attract devotees from around the world seeking spiritual solace and blessings.

Panch Kedar holds a special place in Hindu mythology and is believed to be closely associated with the Pandavas, the legendary heroes of the Indian epic Mahabharata. According to the legends, the Pandavas embarked on a pilgrimage to seek forgiveness from Lord Shiva after the Kurukshetra war, and each of the temples in Panch Kedar is considered to be the place where different parts of Lord Shiva’s body appeared.
