Kedarnath Temple (Ukhimath winter seat) in Uttarakhand serves as the winter abode of Lord Shiva’s Kedarnath Jyotirlinga. When the main temple is snowbound, the deity is worshipped here with daily rituals and aartis. Surrounded by serene Himalayan valleys, it includes shrines for Parvati, Ganesha, and others. The temple symbolizes faith, resilience, and uninterrupted devotion to Lord Shiva
Kedarnath – Ukhimath Winter Seat
During the winter months, when the Kedarnath Temple in the high Himalayas closes due to heavy snowfall, the idol of Lord Kedarnath is ceremonially moved to Omkareshwar Temple in Ukhimath, Uttarakhand. This temple becomes the winter seat (Shishkal Gaddi) of Lord Kedarnath, where daily worship and darshan continue from late October to April. Surrounded by serene hills and traditional Garhwali villages, Ukhimath holds deep spiritual importance for devotees who cannot visit Kedarnath in winter. The place offers a peaceful atmosphere and keeps the sacred traditions of Kedarnath alive throughout the colder months
