Kedarnath pilgrimage registrations suspended amid heavy snowfall

Following continuous snowfall and bad weather the registration of pilgrims for Kedarnath has been suspended till May 3, 2023, the officials said on Tuesday. Earlier on April 25 doors of Kedarnath Dham were opened for pilgrims. The Uttarakhand government stopped accepting registration applications from pilgrims for the Kedarnath Dham Yatra in view of heavy snowfall on the pilgrimage route and a warning by the Met Department. The Kedarnath temple is one of the most revered temples in the country dedicated to Lord Shiva and people from across the country visit the temple during the six months when the temple is open.
