In 2013 when Kedarnath was affected by flash floods, which was one of the worst disasters that occurred in 100 years of its existence. The surrounding areas and the town suffered extensive damage. Still, the temple structure didn't suffer a drastic change as a large rock among the debris shielded the temple and acted as a barrier to protect the temple from the flood. The miracle rock or God's rock is called Bhim Shila. Below, get the complete details of the wondrous rock that protected Kedarnath from the catastrophic floods.

Surya Narayan temple at Nirath, near Rampur Bushayr in Himachal Pradesh.

The temple at Nirath has been dated to the 11th-12th century CE , and it is associated with stories from the Mahabharata and the Pandavas, while locals claim that it was built during Dwapara Yuga.

Architecture wise it is nagara saili, & very distinctly bears the eastern Indian temple style with clear Pala-Sena handwork.

Evidently renovated or built over the remains of an older temple (of the Pala dynasty, as evident from the typical Pala art style sculptures kept inside the mandapa), the current shikhara show workmanship of a later period (16th-17th centuries; hence likely handwork of the Sena dynasty). The Shikhara has the face of Surya carved on all four sides.

A number of old stone Shivlingas found while building the dam and nearby roads are kept in the courtyard of the temple.

The sanctum contains a black stone murti of Surya riding a chariot pulled by seven horses and carrying two lotuses in his hands.
