Kedarnath Yatra 2024: The doors of Shri Kedarnath Temple will be closed for devotees at 8.30 am on November 3, the day of Bhai Dooj. Vijay Prasad Thapliyal, Chief Executive Officer of Shri Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee himself gave this information. He told that after the closing of the doors, the mobile cart of Lord Kedarnath will proceed towards his winter resting place.
After the doors of Kedarnath are closed, the devotees will carry the moving palanquin of Lord Kedarnath on their shoulders. Night stay will be in Rampur on the same day. Then on November 4, the doli will depart from Rampur and reach Guptkashi via Phata and Narayan Koti. After that we will rest here for the night.
On the morning of 5th November, the devotees will move forward with Chal-Vigraha Doli. After this, Chal-Vigraha Dolly will reach its winter resting place Shri Omkareshwar Temple (Ukhimath). Where the palanquin of Lord Kedarnath will be seated at the Gaddi site along with traditional worship.
In fact, during the cold season, Kedarnath temple gets covered with snow. And hence Lord Kedarnath is worshiped in Ukhimath. Every year on this occasion, a large number of devotees participate in the Doli Yatra of Lord Kedarnath and take part in special worship at Ukhimath.
A tradition that has been going on for years
