PM Narendra Modi offered prayers at the Kedarnath Temple today.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi this morning visited the Kedarnath shrine in Uttarakhand, which opened after a six-month winter break.
PM Modi arrived around 9:30 am at the holiest of the four Himalayan shrines just before it reopened its gates. He took part in an important ritual inside the temple, becoming the first to offer prayers at the shrine at the start of the pilgrimage season.
He was gifted a replica of the shrine. A large crowd gathered at the area to see the Prime Minister.
He is also scheduled to inaugurate a research centre at Ramdev's Patanjali Yogpeeth in Haridwar this afternoon before returning to Delhi.
