Pandavas after having won over the Kaurava in the Kurukshetra war, felt guilty of having killed their own
brothers and sought the blessings of Lord Shiva for redemption. He eluded them repeatedly and while fleeing
took refuge at Kedarnath in the form of a bull. On being followed he dived into the ground, leaving his hump on
the surface. The remaining portions of Lord Shiva appeared at four other places and are worshipped there as his manifestations. The arms appeared at Tungnath, the face at Rudranath, the belly at Madhmaheshwar and
his locks (hair) with head at Kalpeshwar. Kedarnath and the four above-mentioned shrines are treated as
