Devotees Visit Under-Construction Kedareswar Mahadev Temple on Last Sawan Monday
Devotees gathered at the under-construction Kedareswar Mahadev Temple in Etawah on the last Monday of the holy month of Sawan to offer prayers and jalabhishek. Initiated by Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav, the temple is modeled after Uttarakhand's Kedarnath temple and aligns with the 'Shiva Rekha' spiritual axis from Kedarnath to Rameshwaram. The idol, sourced from Nepal's Kali Gandaki region, and rituals follow South Indian traditions. The temple aims to serve devotees unable to visit Kedarnath due to weather or health constraints.
