The Adi Shankaracharya Samadhi is located just behind the Kedarnath Temple and marks the spot where the great 8th-century philosopher and reformer Adi Shankaracharya is believed to have attained samadhi. Shankaracharya is credited with reviving and restoring several ancient temples across India, including Kedarnath. A 12-foot statue of Shankaracharya was installed here in recent years and is a significant attraction for pilgrims who understand the role he played in preserving the Shaivite tradition. The site was damaged in the devastating 2013 floods but has since been restored.
