A controversy erupted after a video of a dog touching Nandi’s feet went viral on social media. Whose dog is it and how did it reach Kedarnath from Noida, know the full story here.

The Kedarnath Temple where Kedar Baba is seated was built by the Pandavas. There is a more popular story about the same Pandavas. It is said that when the Pandavas went on their journey to heaven, they had a dog with them. Yudhishthira loved that devoted dog so much that he was adamant about taking him to heaven with him. But now there is a ruckus over the dog's departure in the same Kedarnath Temple built by the Pandavas.

For the past few days, some videos have been circulating on social media. In this, a dog is being made by its owner to touch the feet of Nandi present in the Kedarnath Temple. This viral video has offended several people.

Not only this, the Badri-Kedar Temple Committee has demanded to take legal action on it. The CEO of the committee has also lodged an FIR on the behest of the temple committee president, Ajendra Ajay.

Aaj Tak talked to the family who raised that dog.

This dog belongs to Himshi Tyagi, who lives in Noida. In the viral video, the dog is accompanied by her husband Rohan Tyagi. Himshi Tyagi told that the dog in the viral video present in Kedarnath is of Husky breed. This is a Russian breed of dog. Himshi said that we raise him exactly like our own son and his name is 'Nawab Tyagi'.
