About this stamp
Kedarnath
Kedarnath, in Rudraprayag district, is the most remote of the four dhams. The Shiva temple stands at nearly 3,500 m, among snow-capped mountains, and its worship is marked by Vedic chants and elaborate rituals. In winter the deity is carried down to Ukhimath, a journey celebrated like a festival.
