Date reveal during Mahashivratri celebrations at Omkareshwar Temple
The date reveal happened during Mahashivratri celebrations at Omkareshwar Temple in Ukhimath, with priests, local leaders, and a crowd of devotees chanting "Jai Baba Kedar."
This also kicks off the Char Dham Yatra season—Yamunotri and Gangotri temples open April 19 (Akshaya Tritiya), while Badrinath follows on April 23 or 24.
If you're planning a trip, darshan at Kedarnath runs from early morning to evening and is expected to close around mid-November (tentative).
