budha Kedar Temple
The Budha Kedar Temple is located at the confluence of rivers Bal Ganga and Dharam Ganga and is about 59 Km by motorable distance from New Tehri. The legendary Duryodhana of Mahabharata is believed to have offered Tarpana here.
As the legend goes, during Mahabharata era, Pandavas after the battle of Kurukshetra went on a lookout for Lord Shiva. In their journey, they encountered Rishi Balkhily at Bhrigu Parvat. The Rishi directed the Pandavas to the site of confluence to meet an old man who was meditating there.
When the Pandavas finally reached the site of confluence, the old man vanished and instead a huge Shiv Linga appeared. Rishi Balkhily asked the Panadavas to embrace the Shiv Linga in order to free themselves from their sins committed. This they did leaving their impressions stamped on the Shiv Linga. This Shiv Linga is considered the biggest Shiv Linga in northern India.
