Description of Kedarnath temple closures

The scene of the closure of the temple of Kedarnath Lord is also very beautiful. Devotees of Bhole Sankar say goodbye to Lord Shiva with a heavy heart. The devotees move forward happily shouting slogans of Jai Bhole. Army jawans play beautiful tunes and depart for Ukhimath with the Lord's Doli.

The journey from Kedarnath to Ukhimath is about 28 kilometers in three days. In this, devotees of Lord Bhole reach Ukhimath via three stops.
