#KedareshwarCave -
As you move towards the Harishchandreshwara temple is the beautiful cave of #Kedareshwar. This cave has a 5 ft tall #shivalinga and is rather hard to get to because of the icecold water it is surrounded by. The pillars here are said to have a peculiar meaning. The four pillars symbolize the four Yugas, 'Satya Yuga', 'Tretha Yuga', 'Dwapara Yuga' and 'Kali Yuga'. Each pillar breaks by itself at the end of each Yuga!
