KEDARNATH 
The Himalayan abode of Lord Maheswar  

As the temple was consecrated by Adi Sankara to making the, holy shrine, holier and the holier image, holiest by worshipping the most compassionate at this unique place; it has acquired supreme significance thenceforth. Staunch Saivites offer very many types of poojas with great fervour. Normal kinds, of course are the morning and the evening ones. The morning pooja is called Nirvan Darsan and the evening one Shringar Darsan. 

The several poojas, like Subh prabhat, Balbhog, Mahabhishek, Rudrabhishek, Ashtolar, Siva Sahasranam, Siva Mahima Stotra and Ekanta Seva are offered everyday. The shrine attracts lakhs of pilgrims during Kumbha Mela at Haridwar, when Jupiter stays in Acquaries every twelve years. The Ardha Kumbha Mela also brings the same number and the pilgrims normally visit this after their prayers at Haridwar.
