Heavy snowfall once again in Kedarnath Dham; peaks of Kedarpuri seen covered in a white sheet

Fresh snowfall has occurred once again at the holy Kedarnath Dham located in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand. According to a report by Amar Ujala, due to this snowfall that occurred during the night and early morning, the entire Kedarpuri is now covered with a white sheet of snow. The snow accumulated on the Himalayan peaks and the white layer spread all around are enhancing the natural beauty of the Dham, making the sight extremely enchanting.

Despite this change in weather and increasing cold, great enthusiasm is being seen among devotees for the darshan of Baba Kedarnath. Although the cold has increased in the atmosphere due to the snowfall, devotees are moving forward to have darshan with their faith and zeal. People are arriving here in large numbers to enjoy the divine and spiritual atmosphere of the Dham as well as its natural beauty.

According to the report, devotees are continuously reaching Kedarnath Dham after the snowfall has stopped. Devotees are using various routes to reach the Dham. Some devotees are reaching on foot, some by horse-mule, and some by palanquins. In addition, people are also reaching the Dham via helicopter. Despite the increasing cold and snowy weather, no decrease has been observed in the enthusiasm of the devotees for darshan.

The Shri Kedarnath Dham Yatra for the year 2026 has now reached its final stage. On the upcoming 11 November 2026, the gates (kapat) of the Dham are to be closed for the winter season. Only 10 days are now left for the Yatra. So far this year, a total of 18,80,398 devotees have had darshan of Baba Kedarnath, a figure which has crossed 18.80 lakh.

Along with Kedarnath Dham, snowfall has also occurred in Badrinath Dham, due to which the weather has changed there as well and the peaks have been covered with a white sheet, making the view there beautiful as well. However, due to this snowfall, the cold has also increased in Badrinath. A similar situation is being observed in Kedarnath, where devotees are coming for darshan without caring about the cold. It is likely that the sequence of devotees reaching the Dham will continue steadily in the remaining days of the Yatra.
