September 11, 2013  09:20
The deathly silence brooding over Kedarnath since the June calamity hit Uttarakhand broke early today morning by the chanting of Vedic hymns as prayers resumed at the Himalayan shrine, 86 days after ravaging floods left over 400 people dead in the Kedar valley.       

Shortly after dawn, as the clock stuck 7, the chief priest of the 6th century shrine, Rawal Bhima Shankar Ling Shivacharya, unlocked the portals of the temple and stepped into the sanctum-sanctorum to perform the puja.        

The prayers commenced today at Sarwartha Siddi Yog, considered to be auspicious.
