Nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas of Rudraprayag, Madmaheshwar is one of the sacred Panch Kedar temples, where Lord Shiva’s torso is believed to have appeared. According to legend, after the Mahabharat war, Lord Shiva eluded the Pandavas by turning into a bull, and his body later reappeared in five locations — forming the Panch Kedar.
The temple, set against the backdrop of Chaukhamba, Neelkanth, and Kedarnath peaks, is reached via a scenic and challenging 24 km trek through forests, meadows, and mountain villages.
