Despite challenging weather conditions, the Kedarnath temple has seen an influx of over three lakh pilgrims since its portals were opened on April 22. Bad weather, including heavy rain and snowfall, didn't deter devotees.
The holy site, located at an altitude of 11,000 feet in the upper Garhwal Himalayas, experienced cloudy skies and precipitation on Monday. Yet, devotees formed long queues hoping to offer prayers to Lord Shiva.
Local authorities, including Rudraprayag police, aided the crowd's movement, advising pilgrims to carry warm clothing and essential medicines due to the adverse conditions.
