Kedarnath Dham:Kedarnath Dham is situated amidst the mountains on the sacred land of Uttarakhand. This Dham is included in the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Mahadev. Shiva devotees are drawn towards Baba Kedarnath Dham situated in the heights of Himalayas. The number of devotees who come here every year for darshan is in lakhs. Kedarnath Dham is also considered to be the divine abode of Lord Shiva.

This Dham is included in Panchkedar, which is considered the center of devotion and faith of the devotees. There are many secrets hidden in Lord Shiva's Dham, but the shape and form of the Shivalinga installed in Kedarnath Dham is different from other Jyotirlingas. This Shivalinga, the highest among all the Jyotirlingas, is not round but triangular. Let us know its ancient and interesting story.

The shape of Shivling established in Kedarnath is not round, but it is triangular. The height and width of Shivling is about 12-12 feet. Here the Shivalinga looks in the shape of a bull's back.

Pandavas reached the shelter of Lord Shiva

To get freedom from this sin, all the Pandavas took refuge in Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva also decided to test Pandavas and Draupadi. To stay away from the Pandavas, Mahadev took the form of a bull and started hiding on the earth, but Bhima caught hold of the tail of Mahadev in the form of a bull. Due to this, only the back of the bull remained on the land. This hump of the bull is in Kedarnath Dham in Uttarakhand.

Due to this, the Shivalinga here is triangular in shape i.e. in the shape of a bull's back. Lord Shiva disappeared from there in the form of a bull and different parts of the bull hidden in the ground appeared at other 4 places. This is the reason why all these 5 places including Kedarnath are called Panchkedar.
