Kedarnath Opening: Thousands Gather As Kedarnath Dham Doors Reopen Today At 7 AM With Sacred Rituals

Kedarnath Opening: The sacred portals of Kedarnath Dham are set to reopen today at 7 AM during the auspicious Vrish Lagna, marking the official start of the Char Dham Yatra for 2025. Before the gates open, Lord Kedarnath's Panchmukhi Doli reached the shrine, welcomed with devotion by the temple's Rawal and chief priest. The air in the Himalayas resonates with chants of "Har Har Mahadev" as thousands of devotees, who arrived overnight, stand patiently in long queues for a glimpse of the revered Jyotirlinga. The atmosphere is charged with spiritual fervor, as pilgrims brave the cold and high altitude with unwavering faith. Uttarakhand’s government and local authorities have ensured tight security and smooth arrangements for the massive footfall expected during the yatra. Helicopter services, medical facilities, and crowd control measures are in place. Kedarnath, nestled in the lap of the Garhwal Himalayas, continues to be one of the most visited pilgrimage destinations in India, drawing Lord Shiva's devotees from all corners of the country. The annual reopening is not just a religious event but a symbol of devotion, endurance, and divine energy that attracts pilgrims year after year.
