Kedarnath temple closes for winters amid heavy snowfall

The portals of Kedarnath were closed for winters on the occasion of Bhai Dooj on Monday amid heavy snowfall at the Himalayan temple.

The two chief ministers arrived at the shrine on Sunday to offer prayers and take a look at the reconstruction projects underway at Kedarpuri.

This year, 1,35,023 pilgrims visited Kedarnath, which had a delayed and restricted opening for devotees due to Covid-19.
