Kedarnath Dham where people from all over the country come to visit Lord Shiva. Kedarnath Dham is one of the four holy pilgrimage sites of Hinduism. Now a temple of Baba Kedar is being built in Delhi too. Protests are going on till Kedarnath. Let's know what is the whole controversy
Baba Kedarnath in Burari, Delhi
A temple of Baba Kedar is being built in Burari, Delhi. Whose name is Shri Kedarnath Delhi Dham Mandir. It is being built in 3 acres. On July 10, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami performed its Bhoomi Pujan. It is being constructed by Kedarnath Dham Trust Mandir Burari. But now the construction of this temple is being opposed even in Kedarnath. This has caused resentment among the pundits and priests associated with Kedarnath Dham. They say that the faith of crores of Hindus is associated with Kedarnath Dham, in such a situation, building a temple of Baba Kedarnath somewhere else is against the dignity of the pilgrimage and is also an attack on the faith of the people towards the Dham.
What did Avimukteshwarananda say?
Shankaracharya Avimukteshwarananda has also opposed this temple being built in Delhi. He said that if Kedar is in the Himalayas then how can you build it in Delhi. When everyone knows then why would you want to change the address? Why are people being misled?
What does the government say?
At the same time, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami says that Baba Kedarnath's Dham cannot be built anywhere else in the world. He has also given necessary guidelines to the chairman of the Badri Kedarnath Temple Committee. Chief Minister Dhami said that if a temple is built in the name of Baba Kedarnath, then the glory of that place will not be affected.
