It is believed that after the <strong>Kurukshetra war<\/strong>, the <strong>Pandavas<\/strong> wanted to seek forgiveness from Lord Shiva for killing their own kin. However, Lord Shiva was angry and did not want to meet them. He disguised himself as a <strong>bull<\/strong> and hid in the <strong>Garhwal Himalayas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>When the Pandavas found him, Lord Shiva <strong>dove underground<\/strong>, and different parts of his body appeared in five different places. These places became the Panch Kedar temples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hump at Kedarnath<\/li>\n<li>Arms at Tungnath<\/li>\n<li>Face at Rudranath<\/li>\n<li>Navel at Madhyamaheshwar<\/li>\n<li>Hair at Kalpeshwar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After worshipping Lord Shiva at these sites, the Pandavas attained <strong>moksha<\/strong> (liberation).
