Overview
In Panch Kedar, all Temple are dedicated to Mighty Bhagwan shiva and all Panch Kedar temple are the different body parts of Bhagwan Shiva. When “Pandavas” went to the Himalayas after the war of Mahabharat, Bhagwan Shiva avoided them to meet because they killed their cousin brothers “Kauravas”. When Bgahwan Shiva turns into the form of Bull, the Bheem (One of the Pandavas) chased him, and between both of them was a huge collapse, then He left his hump at Kedarnath. But when he resurfaced, it seems that he had assumed human form and emerged at different areas in these mountains. His face resurfaced at Rudranath. His Arms resurfaced at Tungnath. His navel emerged at Madhyamaheshwar. His hair emerged at Kalpeshwar.
