Kedarnath

Kedarnath

Kedarnath, berühmter Tempel in der ostindischen Landschaft Gurhwat am Himalaya, wird von den brahmanischen Indiern auf der Wallfahrt nach Badrinath besucht, wegen eines Steines, den die Legende für die Überreste des Gottes Kedarnath erklärt. In der Nähe der heilige Berg Mahapanth, der jährlich viele Gläubige anzieht, welche entweder in den Schneewüsten der Umgebung durch Kälte u. Hunger od. durch Herabstürzen von der Felswand Bhyrava-Thamp sich das Leben nehmen. Der Oberpriester (Rawal) stammt stets von der Malabarküste.
