Legend has it….

The Tungnath temple is the highest Shiva temple in the world and one of the highest among the Panch Kedar temple. Situated in the base of the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand, it has a very interesting mythological legend. The name of the temple is derived from “tung,” which means “weapon,” and “nath,” which symbolizes “Lord Shiva.” The temple is surrounded by a beautiful natural environment that enhances its charm.

According to the legend, after the Kurukshetra war, the Pandav were advised by philosopher Vyas Rashi to worship Lord Shiva to absolve their sin of killing their cousins. Lord Shiva, being convinced of their guilt, tried to avoid them and took the avatar of a bull in Guptakshi of the Garhwal region. However, the Pandavas caught the bull-formed Shiva, and the bull disappeared into the ground, reappearing in parts. 

The hump region appeared in Kedarnath, the limbs in Tungnath, the face in Rudranath, the “nabhi” and stomach in Madhyamaheshawar, and the hair in Kalpeshawar. The Pandavas built temples at those places.
