FAQs

In times of destruction, devotees appeal to Śiva as the indwelling Self of all beings, trusting His power to renew life and order.

Kedārakhaṇḍa frames Kedāra as a Śaiva refuge where the Lord’s saving power is celebrated.

No explicit rite; it models supplication (prārthanā) to Śiva for protection and restoration.
