    brothers and sought the blessings of Lord Shiva for redemption. He eluded them repeatedly and while fleeing
    took refuge at Kedarnath in the form of a bull. On being followed he dived into the ground, leaving his hump on
    the surface. The remaining portions of Lord Shiva appeared at four other places and are worshipped there as his
    manifestations. The arms appeared at Tungnath, the face at Rudranath, the belly at Madhmaheshwar and his
    locks (hair) with head at Kalpeshwar. Kedarnath and the four above-mentioned shrines are treated as Panch
