18-02-2023 : The Kedarnath Temple in the Himalayas to Reopen on April 25th After being closed for nearly six months during winter, the Kedarnath temple situated at the top of the Himalayas will once again open its doors to devotees on April 25th. The Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee announced the auspicious date and time of the temple doors’ reopening, which will take place at 6:20 am. The decision was made during a ceremony held at the Omkareshwar temple in Ukhimath, attended by BKTC officials, district administration officials, and priests.
During winter, the idol of Lord Shiva is worshiped at the Omkareshwar temple in Ukhimath, as the Kedarnath temple is closed due to extreme cold and snowfall. The Gangotri, Yamunotri, and Badrinath temples are also set to open on April 27th and April 22nd, respectively, for the upcoming pilgrimage season.
