1
00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:16,300
"pleasant music"

2
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,200
Good morning to everyone who are watching 
this video

3
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:26,100
so in last video you may saw my journey from 
downhill to here

4
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:31,000
last one hour of the travel was very hard 
and tiring

5
00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:32,500
today will climb for the temple

6
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:38,500
so the crowd who already climbed here during 
overnight

7
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,400
are waiting in queue for hours outside of 
the temple

8
00:00:43,500 --> 00:00:48,300
and time is somewhere around 8.15 A.M to 
8.30 A.M

9
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,200
you can watch helicopters flying around, 
I think it will be crowded there

10
00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:58,100
now we need to enquire about the waiting 
time in the queues and then

11
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,900
we need to enter accordingly and I'm excited 
for this

12
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,800
brother woke early in the morning around 
5 A.M and had morning jog

13
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:11,200
and he shot timelapse footage, I posted that 
in the beginning

14
00:01:11,300 --> 00:01:16,100
it was superb, just look at this view

15
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:21,000
it's on another level with those amazing 
mountains

16
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:25,600
it seems that some kind of mist is formed 
after noon

17
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:30,500
so we need to reach the top before that and 
have to see the temple as soon as possible

18
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:37,200
it will make me happy, half of them here 
are already completed their 'dharshanam' 
they went during 6 in the morning

19
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:42,100
for queue and they waited for 2 hours then 
finished 'dharshanam'

20
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,000
they have smeared the holy ash in their forehead 
in the shapes of streaks and 'soolam'

21
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:51,300
it means that they completed the 'dharshanam'

22
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,900
why so much of helicopters are wandering 
here?

23
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,800
- helicopters are around here from 5 A.M 
in the morning and they are competing like 
share auto rikshaws!

24
00:01:57,900 --> 00:02:02,800
"pleasant music"

25
00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:07,700
"pleasant music"

26
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,600
"pleasant music"

27
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:15,800
"pleasant music"

28
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:20,700
you can see a dense queue here from the distance 
of 50 mts from helipad

29
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,600
from here we need to visit Kedharnath temple 
and to my knowledge it's over there

30
00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:30,500
I'll zoom the point and the queue is 1 km 
from there

31
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,400
so if we start now, it will take 3-4 hours 
to complete the 'dharshanam'

32
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:40,300
as brother said, there is a Kala Bhairava 
temple in the top

33
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,200
we need to see that then we check the situation 
here

34
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:46,600
I think it will take 4 hours,

35
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:52,200
I thought we may visit after getting some 
relaxation by having some tea in the morning

36
00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:56,300
but the queue was started early as 4-5 A.M

37
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,200
I think more people will come from now

38
00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:04,700
I have no idea of exact timing of our visit

39
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,600
after seeing Bhairava temple then I'll check 
the desity of the queue

40
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:14,500
then I have to stand in queue, I need to 
show this, the temple is here

41
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,400
"pleasant music"

42
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:24,300
"pleasant music"

43
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,200
"pleasant music"

44
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:32,000
"pleasant music"

45
00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:36,900
hey guys!, you may saw Kedharnath temple

46
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:43,900
it looks so beautiful, and the friends who 
travelled with us in the last video have 
already entered inside

47
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,800
there will be a spcial pooja at 1.30 for 
VIPs

48
00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:53,700
they need to pay around 7-8K Rs for this

49
00:03:54,500 --> 00:04:04,000
so they bargained that price and ended up 
for special dharshanam and they put their 
ears and forehead close to the linga

50
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:08,900
they said it was a superb experience with 
positive vibes

51
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,800
I'm very eager to enter but the crowd is 
dense and it will grew more over time

52
00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:18,700
so we'll visit Bhairava temple first

53
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,600
this is the path to that temple, via this 
road and you may see the flags also

54
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:28,500
that's the place, the sceneries behind the 
temple are beautiful

55
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,400
like mountains, snow and rocks

56
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:38,300
those rocks are actually came here with the 
2013 floods

57
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,200
actually it has etched the whole pathway 
and leaved it's mark

58
00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:48,100
there is a big rock behind the temple and 
if not for the rock

59
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:53,000
that temple may have been destroyed in the 
flood

60
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:56,700
it's a special thing that the temple alone 
was spared by nature

61
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,600
there is a 'dharshanam' during 6-6.30 in 
the evening and we have that chance too

62
00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:04,600
we need to wait 4-5 hours for that

63
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:12,800


64
00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:17,700
this Bhairava temple is located 600 mts from 
Kedharnath temple

65
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,800
this is the only way to reach that temple

66
00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:26,700
it will take 10-15 minutes walk for you to 
reach

67
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,600
just look at this view, actually

68
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:36,500
during the flood all the area except the 
middle part including the temple was destroyed

69
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,400
during the flood one big rock was rolled 
and sttled behind the temple without damaging 
it

70
00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:46,300
because of that the temple was saved

71
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,700
so while hearing this,

72
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,600
I'm not sure whether is a miracle or not

73
00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:59,500
if that flood had contact with the temple 
it would have been destroyed into pieces

74
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,400
you can know tthe impact by seeing the paths 
here

75
00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:09,300
construction works are going on, it's been 
almost 10 years since the incident

76
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,200
still the working is going on and hatsoff 
to them

77
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:19,100
they built a compound wall and

78
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:24,000
paved way for the flow and distribution of 
water with concretes

79
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:28,900
they have safety in their mind for the project

80
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,800
this is teh path for Bhairava temple and 
we completed 25% of it

81
00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:38,100
it's very cold and I can't breath properly 
as you know with my talking

82
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,200
and it would have been covered in snow if 
I visited 2 months ago

83
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:47,100
I already saw a video where a boy will

84
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,000
vlog in the snowy hill and this view also 
looks good

85
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:55,300
it's such an amazing place

86
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,600
we have no information regarding this Bhairava 
temple

87
00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:03,500
but while seeing from top we can find the 
'aghastiyar' we already saw in Podhighai 
hills

88
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,400
this temple is surrounded by many flags and 
holy bells

89
00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:11,400
and this top view looked majestic

90
00:07:11,500 --> 00:07:16,300
while we're leaving the temple one gentleman

91
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,200
was dancing while possessed by God

92
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:26,100


93
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:31,000
"man shouts"

94
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:35,900
"man shouts"

95
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,400
then while climbing down

96
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:46,300
we're happy to found the food offering by 
volunteers for pilgrims

97
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,200
me and my brother had food from them and 
then went for the temple

98
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:58,700
guys while climbing down I said we're going 
to eat 'annadhanam'

99
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:07,200
we each took one plate, the serving offers 
rice, puri(!) I guess and it also have sweet

100
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:11,600
I'm very hungry and thirsty so I'll complete 
it in a go

101
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:16,500
the good thing in this 'annadhanam' is we 
need to clean the plates properly in which 
we had food

102
00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:25,600
after this we went to see the new statue 
of shankaracharya which is situated behind 
the Kedarnath temple

103
00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:30,500
this statue was inaugurated by our prime 
minister Narendra Modi in 5th November 2021

104
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,400
the previous memorial was damaged in the 
2013 floods

105
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:40,300
so they reconstructed this, and

106
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:45,200
this statue looked so majestic with the mountains 
in the background

107
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:50,100
this status was made with the stone called 
fluoride chips stone

108
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:55,000
we sat there for 30-45 minutes and

109
00:08:55,100 --> 00:08:59,900
many pilgrims worshipped shankaracharya and 
got blessings from priests

110
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:07,500
adi shankaracharya is the person who saved 
and renovated kedarnath temple which was 
in perishing state

111
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,400
he has done many poojas to worship lord Shiva 
and his devotees are the ones

112
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:17,300
who still doing poojas in the temple

113
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:25,100
so guys you saw the statue of adi shankaracharya 
there, it looked beautiful

114
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:30,000
it looked like star annd lotus from top view

115
00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:34,300
it's like lotus sitting in a star

116
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,200
the vibe was good in that place, now we'll 
enter the temple

117
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:44,100
time is 1.30 in the noon, queue was slightly 
diminished

118
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:49,000
now I'm standing in this bridge and it's 
going all the way up

119
00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:52,500
I think it will take 2 hours from here

120
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,400
as I said it took 3 hours to pass this queue

121
00:09:57,500 --> 00:09:59,700
many are cutting the queue so it took so 
long

122
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,600
in the way everyone put their footwear in 
the shops

123
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:12,000
me and my brother put our shoes in the safety 
racks provided by them

124
00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:16,900
this place is free of cost and you don't 
need to pay a penny and you will get tokens

125
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,100
you need to safekeep that to claim your footwear

126
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:25,000
during 4 P.M the temple was closed, because

127
00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:29,900
they have special 'abhishegham' at 4 so they 
closed the doors and made us wait for 1 more 
hour

128
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,600
so it's closed?

129
00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:35,000
-[SPEAKER NOISE]

130
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:39,100
guys they told us to sit, so

131
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:39,900
- it will take 1 hour

132
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,800
oh! I thought we got this early

133
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:49,700
I think they're shutting the doors for sometime

134
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,600
before entering the interior of the temple, 
we'll see the history of it

135
00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:59,500
Kedarnath, situated beautifully at the middle 
of the snowy mountains

136
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,400
this temple was built by Pandavas and it's 
one among the twelve 'jothi lingas'

137
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:09,300
the reason for building this temple was, 
after the end of Mahabharath

138
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:14,200
they want to get rid of the sins of killing 
their brothers and relatives

139
00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:19,100
so they travelled towards lord Shiva and 
he refused to saw Pandavas

140
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,000
so he took the form of a buffalo

141
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:27,900
and Pandavas saw that buffalo in their path

142
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,800
and while they fought with that buffalo it 
split into 5 parts and fall on different 
places

143
00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:37,700
one of the 5 places is Kedarnath and if you 
saw the linga here

144
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,600
it will look like a shape of the spine of 
a buffalo

145
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:47,500
this temple is opened from akshayathrithi 
to Diwali

146
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,400
then [UNKNOWN WORD], so it will open only 
for 6 months in a year

147
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:57,300
as I already said, when it was in it's worst 
condition in 8th century

148
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,200
it was renovated and carried over by Adi 
Shankaracharya

149
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:07,100
still this temple is maintained and administrated 
by his devotees

150
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:12,000
so let's go guys, as temple is opened now

151
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:16,900
we'll again follow this queue and will have 
a look at the inside

152
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,800
guys after so long they resumed the queue

153
00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:26,700
I think the queue is transformed into four 
distinct queues

154
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,600
and 10 new members are trailing in my back 
and I don't know them before

155
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:36,500
-and 50-60 people have cutted the line in 
front

156
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,200
- I don't know how they cut the lines effortlesly

157
00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:42,800
it was totally fun here

158
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:45,800
- we gave dubbing to their conversations!

159
00:12:45,900 --> 00:12:50,000
let's go for the 'dharshanam', the front 
is too crowded

160
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:54,900
the closer we reach the crowd get more denser

161
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,800
see the chaos for yourself

162
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:04,700
"people shouts holy chants"

163
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,800
"people shouts holy chants"

164
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:11,700
after entering inside we can see the each 
Pandava's statue in pillars

165
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,600


166
00:13:16,700 --> 00:13:21,500


167
00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:27,700
in the left side of the main premise we have 
the statue of 'Kaali godess'

168
00:13:30,900 --> 00:13:36,100
infront of me one person openly captures 
everything with his camera

169
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:41,000
and he got beaten by people, so I tried my 
best and at one point I put my camera in 
my bag

170
00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:45,900
because there are 2-3 police gaurded nearby 
the worshiping place

171
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,800
after worshipping  they insist everyone to 
leave immediately to control the forthcoming 
crowd

172
00:13:50,900 --> 00:13:55,700
guys finally we finished the 'dharshanam'

173
00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:00,600
so I tried my best to show the interiors

174
00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:05,500
some got beaten in the heads so, I put my 
camera in the bag

175
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,400
they push people outside like every other 
temple

176
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:15,300
so we came outside easily, and we're putting 
our shoes back

177
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:20,200
at 7-7.30 in the evening they will do a ritual 
called 'Aarthi'

178
00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:25,100
so I will show that too for you and now it's 
getting darker here

179
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:30,000
and it will look nice in the night lighting, 
so we'll meet at 7 P.M

180
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,800
"spiritual music"

181
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:44,700
"spiritual music"

182
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,600
"spiritual music"

183
00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:54,500
"spiritual music"

184
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,400
"spiritual music"

185
00:14:59,500 --> 00:15:04,300
"spiritual music"

186
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:09,200
"spiritual music"

187
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:14,100
in 6.30 of the evening they will do this 
aarthi ritual

188
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:19,000
during this aarthi thousands of people gathered 
here to chant holy manthras to worship lord 
Shiva

189
00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:22,600
I never seen this much of crowd in my life,

190
00:15:22,700 --> 00:15:27,500
everyone sat politely infront of the temple 
and chanted the songs played in the temple

191
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:32,400
they're in a spiritual state and after sometime 
the pandits

192
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:37,300
showed the aarthi light and everyone stood 
up to worship that light

193
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:42,200
after getting dark the lighting around the 
temple looked colourful

194
00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:47,100
it looked majestic and improved the beauty 
of the temple

195
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:52,000
this kedarnath temple is 1200 years old and 
has the significance of one of the most important 
temple in the world

196
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:56,900
thousands of people visit this temple each 
year

197
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,800
due to the growth of social media and it's 
influence

198
00:16:01,900 --> 00:16:06,700
it serves the purpose of picnic spot as well

199
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,600
many people just visit here just for the 
3 seconds reel and bragging in social media, 
we need to avoid this

200
00:16:11,700 --> 00:16:16,500
recent ecology survey says that this place 
is in a sensitive zone

201
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,400
it says that the place can only manage 20 
K visitors per year

202
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:26,300
in contrast it has 8-10 K visitors daily 
so think about the consequences

203
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:31,200
the people who arrange tourist package for 
us

204
00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:36,100
should consider this issue and should restrict 
the visitor capacity

205
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:41,000
as I already said this temple should last 
for coming generations

206
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:45,900
for that we need your support

207
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,800
we have the responsibility of saving temples 
like this, so let's travel responsibly

208
00:16:50,900 --> 00:16:54,400


209
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:59,300
guys time is 9 P.M now and

210
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:04,200
you saw the aarthi pooja and I think there 
were over 1000 people witnessed that in-person

211
00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:09,100
it was grand with all of them singing holy 
songs

212
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:14,000
it's like a grand welcome and gave good, 
positive vibes

213
00:17:14,100 --> 00:17:18,900
it was majestic in the morning and colourful 
in the night

214
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,800
