Kedarnath Temple to open for devotees on May 2

The doors of Kedarnath temple will open on May 2 at 7 AM, as announced on Mahashivratri. The Panchmukhi Doli of Baba Kedar will leave for Kedarnath Dham on April 28 from Omkareshwar Temple Ukhimath.

The doors of Kedarnath Dham will open at 7 AM on May 2, as announced by Vijay Prasad Thapliyal, Chief Executive Officer of the Shri Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee (BKTC), on Wednesday.&nbsp;
With this announcement, the dates for the opening of all four sacred sites in the Garhwal Himalayas have now been finalized.&nbsp;
Badrinath Dham will open on May 4, while Gangotri and Yamunotri Dhams will welcome devotees on April 30, coinciding with Akshaya Tritiya. Together, these four sites form the revered Chota Char Dham pilgrimage circuit.
The auspicious timing and date for the opening of Kedarnath temple were determined by religious scholars and Vedpathis on Mahashivratri, following prayers at the Omkareshwar temple in Ukhimath, which serves as the winter abode of Baba Kedar.&nbsp;
The decision was taken in the presence of Kedarnath temple&rsquo;s chief priest Rawal Bhimshankar Ling, Kedarnath MLA Asha Nautiyal, temple committee officials, religious leaders, and hundreds of devotees. The Omkareshwar temple was beautifully adorned with flowers for the occasion.
As per the official announcement by BKTC, the Panchmukhi Doli of Baba Kedar will begin its journey from Shri Omkareshwar Temple in Ukhimath to Kedarnath Dham on April 28, while Lord Bhairavnath will be worshipped on April 27.&nbsp;
The decision regarding Kedarnath&rsquo;s opening date was taken in the presence of key figures, including Rawal Bhimashankar Ling, Kedarnath MLA Asha Nautiyal, duty bearer Chandi Prasad Bhatt, BKTC Chief Executive Officer Vijay Prasad Thapliyal, Panchgai Committee officials, and a large gathering of devotees.&nbsp;
The date was finalized through the traditional Panchang calculations performed by religious leaders and Vedpathis.
Mahashivratri celebrations at Omkareshwar Temple were marked with enthusiasm, as hundreds of devotees gathered for darshan, participated in bhajan-kirtan, and distributed prasad. The temple was lavishly decorated, adding to the spiritual fervor of the occasion.
Meanwhile, large numbers of devotees arrived at Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj on the final day of the Maha Kumbh 2025, which coincided with Mahashivratri.&nbsp;
The first Amrit Snan of Paush Purnima took place on January 13, followed by sacred baths on Makar Sankranti (January 14), Mauni Amavasya (January 29), Basant Panchami (February 3), Maghi Purnima (February 12), and concluding with the Maha Shivaratri snan on February 26.
Mahashivratri, known as the "Great Night of Shiva," holds deep spiritual significance, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness and ignorance. It is also believed to mark the divine union of Lord Shiva, the god of destruction, and Goddess Parvati, the goddess of fertility, love, and power.&nbsp;
According to Hindu mythology, Shiva&rsquo;s wedding procession included an eclectic mix of gods, goddesses, animals, and celestial beings. The divine couple, Shiva and Shakti, represent the ultimate harmony of love and power, making Mahashivratri one of the most revered festivals across India.

Explained: why are priests at Kedarnath resisting paint of walls with gold?

Pilgrimage priests (teerth purohits) opposing the gold plating are incensed that the use of big drilling machines in the process are damaging the temple's walls.

&nbsp;A section of priests in Kedarnath have opposed the gold plating of the walls inside the sanctum sanctorum of the Himalayan temple saying it amounted to tampering with its centuries-old traditions.
Pilgrimage priests (teerth purohits) opposing the gold plating are incensed that the use of big drilling machines in the process are damaging the temple's walls.
The four walls of the famed temple were covered with silver plates which have been removed to replace them with gold plates.
The gold plating of the temple's walls is being done after a Shiva devotee from Maharashtra volunteered to make an offering of gold for the purpose and his proposal was accepted by the Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee with permission from the state government.
The gold plating is damaging the temple walls. Big drilling machines are being used for the purpose. We cannot tolerate this tampering with the centuries old traditions of the temple," a pilgrimage priest named Santosh Trivedi said in Kedarnath.
However, the priests are divided on the issue with some senior priests favouring the renovation work currently underway inside the temple's sanctum sanctorum.
Senior priest at the temple Shrinivas Posti and former president of Kedar Sabha Mahesh Bagwadi said the temple is a major centre of Sanatan faith and gold plating of its walls is in keeping with the Hindu beliefs and traditions. Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee president Ajendra Ajay said opposition to the the gold plating of the temple walls is not justified as it is being done in accordance with the traditions without tampering with the original structure.
"Renovation and beautification of the temple from time to time is a normal practice. A handful of priests may oppose it but their representative bodies never opposed it. Decades ago the temple ceiling used to be made of grass and twigs. As the times changed it began to be made of stones and later of copper sheets," he said.&nbsp;
