Kedarnath Temple: As the grand opening of the sacred Kedarnath Temple approaches, preparations are in full swing to welcome devotees from different parts of the country. The temple in the serene Himalayas is undergoing a beautiful makeover with elaborate decorations.
The Kedarnath temple is getting adorned with flowers ahead of its grand opening. Flowers have already reached Kedarnath for the decoration of the sacred place. Nearly ten tonnes of flowers will be used to decorate the temple. On the other hand, after the Panchmukhi idol procession of Baba Kedarnath travelled to Gaurikund on the third night, it has now embarked on its journey to Kedarnath Dham. The palanquin will arrive at Kedarnath this afternoon and rest in the temple's storage house. Tomorrow morning, on the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya, the gates of Baba Kedarnath will be opened at 07:15 AM.
The ceremonial procession of Baba Kedarnath's palanquin has begun its journey from Gaurikund to Kedarnath, symbolising the revered deity's presence and blessings. The palanquin, adorned with intricate designs and vibrant colours, is making its way amidst the chants and prayers of thousands of devotees. The temple premises are being decorated with an abundance of flowers, adding to the divine ambiance of the sacred site. After travelling through the night, Baba Kedarnath's palanquin is expected to reach Kedarnath Dham by this afternoon. The palanquin will then rest in the temple's storage house, awaiting the auspicious moment of the grand opening.
As devotees gathered in anticipation, an aarti was performed to honour Baba Kedarnath's palanquin in Gaurikund. The palanquin began its journey to Kedarnath Dham with dedicated devotion, marking a significant moment in the temple's preparations.
The grand opening of Kedarnath Temple is a momentous occasion marked by elaborate preparations and great devotion. As the gates swing open, devotees will be welcomed to experience the divine presence of Baba Kedarnath in all his glory.
