New Delhi, Nov.5: Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled a statue of Adi Shankaracharya at the Kedarnath Temple in Uttarakhand’s Rudraprayag area this morning.

After being destroyed in the Uttarakhand floods of 2013, Adi Shankaracharya’s Samadhi was rebuilt.

According to officials, the restored statue of Guru Shankaracharya weights 35 tonnes and was sculpted by Mysore-based sculptors from chlorite schist, a rock that can survive rain, sunlight, and harsh temperature. It was constructed by excavating land in the samadhi area, immediately behind the Kedarnath temple.

PM Modi prayed and performed “aarti” at the historic temple before the inauguration. After giving prayers, he paid reverence to Lord Shiva and performed a circumambulation of the Kedarnath shrine.

Kedarnath Temple, located on the Mandakini River, is one of the four ancient pilgrimage destinations known as the “Char Dham Yatra,” which also includes Yamunotri, Gangotri, and Badrinath.
