The doors of Kedarnath Dham are to open on April 29. 43 years later, this time Baba Kedar's Doli was taken from Gaurikund from Ukhimath. Earlier in 1977, Baba Kedar's Doli was moved from Ukhimath to Guptkashi. At the same time, devotees were also unable to see Baba's doli due to the doli going in the vehicle. Worshiping prayers started in the early hours of Sunday in Panchkedar throne, Omkareshwar temple in Ukhimath by law. Baba Kedar was adorned and made to enjoy. After the Arti, the Panchmukhi idol of Baba Kedar was brought from the sanctum sanctorum to the premises.
For your information, let us tell you that after religious traditions here, the idol was seated in the moving deity doli. Other religious traditions were fulfilled by Vedic scholars amid Vedic chanting. After this, the moon was donated. After this, the moving deity Doli was made three revolutions of the Omkareshwar temple and then proceeded to Dham from the vehicle. This time the Kedarnath Yatra is being conducted in a subtle manner following the lockdown and social distance due to Corona infection. Only 16 people left with Doli. Only so many people will remain in the worship of opening the doors.
Along with this, the administration, besides the police, were the only people who were allowed in the puja-archana. Let us tell you that before 1977, the Panchakadar Gaddisthal Onkareshwar temple entered the Ashtami of Navratri of Ashwini month during Chandika Pujan. Sacrifices were made at the door itself. The then MLA Pushpavan protested against this practice and staged a sit-in. Due to which it was decided to take Doli from the vehicle. But due to the protest, Doli had to be removed in Guptkashi itself.
