• The hump of lord Shiva is the main deity of the temple, which is placed as the jyotirlinga in the middle of the sanctum sanctorum.
• During the winter, the weather of Kedarnath Dham becomes freezing and unfavorable for tourists. That is why the deity of the temple migrated to the Ukhimath for 6 months of extreme weather.
