other parts of the Lord's body like, limbs, face, navel and jata appeared at
other places such as arms at Tunganath, face at Rudranath, belly at Madhameswar,
jata at Kapaleswar and front part
at Nepal. The legend ends that Siva when entered thus became five fold; and all
are held sacred. All these places are located in the Himalayas and they go by
the name of Pancha Kedara. The Pandavas then built a shrine and worshipped Him
with unequalled fervour. It is laid that the very same temple is existing
without 'alterations and the self-same Siva linga is worshipped by the devotees
now.
