Last month, around eight to ten thousand passengers could be seen arriving per day. But currently, only around two to three thousand pilgrims can be seen travelling.
Despite heavy rainfalls in the Kedarnath in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand, the journey to the sacred temple resumed on Tuesday.
The rain has caused a slight drop in the number of devotees travelling to Kedarnath. However, despite the rain and slick roads, pilgrims are enthusiastically continuing their journey to the temple.
The entire town of Kedarnath is undergoing a chilly spell due to haze clouding in the region. Amidst the downpour, the Rudraprayag administration has been halting the passengers at safer locations for a while to ensure their safety.
Due to torrential monsoons in the state, there has also been a significant decrease in the number of pilgrims.
