Uttarakhand is called as a Dev Bhoomi i.e. land of Gods. Shri Kedarnath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is the eleventh out of twelve Jyotirlingas of India, and Shri Badarinath Temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Both temples are situated in Garhwal Division of Uttarakhand at high altitudes in Himalayas and are believed to be established by Aadi Guru Shankaracharya. According to the legend, Adi Shankaracharya discovered a black stone image of Lord Badrinarayan made of Shaligram stone in the Alaknanda River. He originally enshrined it in a cave near the Tapt Kund hot springs.
