Dedicated to Bhairav, the guardian deity of Kedarnath, this small stone shrine sits on a hillock about 500m from the main temple. It is customary to visit this temple before the Kedarnath shrine opens and after it closes for the winter, as Bhairav is believed to protect the region when the main deity is moved to Ukhimath. The temple offers panoramic views of the Kedarnath valley and the Mandakini river.
