Kedarnath, the abode of Lord Shiva situated at the altitude of 12,200 ft in the Garhwal Himalayas is one of the holiest shrines of the Hindu pilgrimage. It is a tortuous and difficult terrain, and the climate is extreme. For those pilgrims who are unwilling or unfit to trek, the solution is at hand: dandi (carried by four people) or pitthu are highly in demand. Ram Bahadur is a pitthu.
