We went to this temple in winter just after evening arati so the temple was about to close for the day. But the priest was kind enough to allow us inside and also explained to us about the five Kedarnaths who were brought over there for the winter months. The omkareshwar idol was at the centre, behind which was the main Kedarnath idol along with the Madmaheshwar idol. The Rudranath, Kalpeshwar and Tunganath idols were placed at the side. We were really grateful to the priest for showing us the five different idols else we would have kept wondering which is what. Not only that he asked a security staff to show us around the temple privately.......and he took us to five kedarnath's lingams (probably replicas) and showed us some arms which they assume to be that of the pandavas. Also we were taken to a small Devi Chandika mandir and were also shown the place where they believe Krishna's grandson Aniruddha married Usha the daughter of King Banasura. I loved the hospitality we received there that also during closing time of the temple when usually people are in a rush to go home. Also we loved to get the darshan of the five kedars at one place. In case you are not fond of trekking but still want to get a darshan of Kedarnath visiting this temple in winter can be your best decision provided you can tolerate a bit cold. Also in case you are near Ukhimath during winters I would highly recommend you to stop by this temple.

I am Bharat birding guide living in nearby Chopta. I have spotted all birding trails wherever we find birds in Chopta valley and the surrounding area of Kedarnath wildlife sanctuary, I take birders in these places.
