The route towards Kedarnath Dham Yatra has been closed after a glacier broke at Bhairon, according to officials. Due to this, the Rudraprayag District Magistrate has advised pilgrims not to travel on foot until the route becomes clear or to use helicopter services as an alternative. The Kedarnath temple is a revered temple in India dedicated to Lord Shiva. The Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand involves visiting four holy sites nestled in the Himalayas, and is a popular Hindu pilgrimage.
