For most of the pilgrims, Chardham Yatrais the only way to attain moksha. In Kedarnath Yatra, there are several kunds in which the pilgrims get the opportunity to have bath. Each of these kunds is having its own religious significance. The temple of Kedarnath is dedicated to Bhaironathji. This place is said to be the seat of Lord Shiva as well as famous as one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of great Lord Shiva. This temple is located at a height of 3584 m and it is said to be the holiest pilgrimage for the Hindu religion.
