History & tradition
Madhyamaheshwar, or Madmaheshwar, is a temple of Shiva near Gaundar village in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand, at an elevation of about 3,497 metres. It is one of the Panch Kedar, the five Shiva temples of the Garhwal region; the others are Kedarnath, Tungnath, Rudranath and Kalpeshwar. Here the middle, or navel, of Shiva is worshipped, which gives the place its name. Tradition holds that the temple was built by the Pandavas, who sought Shiva in these mountains after the Kurukshetra war. It is reached on foot by a trek of 16 to 18 kilometres from Aktolidhar or Ransi, near Ukhimath.
