Bhairon Baba Mandir is another name for Bhairavnath Temple. It is on the eastern hill of Uttarakhand's Himalayan Himalayas, south of the Kedarnath temple. The Temple devotes itself to Bhairav, Lord Shiva's furious avatar connected with destruction and devastation. 

When the Temple remains closed in the winter, Bhairava serves as Kshetrapal. The defender of the Kedarnath temple and the entire Kedar valley. Pilgrims and devotees who go to Kedarnath temple perform ritual obeisance at the Temple. The Temple also provides a breathtaking perspective of the Himalayas and the lush Kedar valley. 

When Kedarnath Temple closes during the winter months owing to severe snowfall, the god at Bhairavnath temple protects the main temple area and the entire Kedarnath valley, according to folklore. Ensure that the KEDARNATH TOUR PACKAGE includes visiting the breathtaking Bhairavnath Temple, enhancing your overall experience with its scenic beauty and tranquility.

The unique feature of the Bhukund Bhairav Temple is that Bhukund Bhairav is worshiped before the doors of the Shri Kedarnath Temple open, and only then is Baba Kedarnath worshiped. According to legend, Bhukund was the first Rawal of Baba Kedarnath. Kedarnath yatra feels incomplete without a visit to Bhairav Nath temple.
