In Hindu epic it is famous because when the pandava had the sin of killing there brothers, that time shrine Shiva was not in the mood to meet the pandavas & was ignoring them and hide in kedarnath. But the pandavas was very clever and they knew that the lord Shiva is in kedarnath so they went there and found him, and got the remission from Shiva. Then the pandavas went to swarg from that place which is now known as swargarohini. The re-established of the temple had done by the Adi Shankaracharya. The trance of Adi sankaracharya and Abhinav Shankar had made there. The temple is in between three peaks named as Kedar Parvat (22000foot), kharchakund (21600 foot), Bharatkund (22000foot). The height of the temple is 85ft, 187ft wide & 12ft thick walls. The design of the wall is based in katyuri shaili.
