DEHRADUN: The modified cave situated near the Kedarnath shrine at 12,000 feet above the sea level, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi spent the Saturday night, is no ordinary cave.Built by cutting the rocks, the natural cave situated a kilometre ahead of the main shrine, has a well-lit room with an attached washroom, a window and over ten feet high ceiling. The cave offers a spectacular view of the ancient temple.On Saturday, after offering prayers and reviewing the redevelopment works, Modi was taken to the cave where he wanted to meditate and spend the night.A Nehru Institute of Mountaineering (NIM) official told TOI that the cave was ready much before the PM’s visit and all the arrangements, like power and water, were made. After months of cutting the rocks and stones, the cave was finally ready last year but was locked.To bolster security arrangements, the cave also has a CCTV system for the PM’s visit. The CCTV is being monitored by security personnel who are deployed outside the cave in a makeshift camp.Another district official told TOI, “The cave has room for one bed and open space on the ground for meditation. After the opening portion of the cave, comes the main door.”As soon as the PM entered the cave, his photographs in which he is seen wearing a saffron robe and meditating were shared on the social media.In one of the photographs, Modi with folded hands could be seen bowing toward the main temple.Bhagwat Bhagwari, a priest of the Kedarnath temple, said, “The PM’s decision to meditate in the cave near the Kedarnath temple would inspire lakhs of people to come here and meditate in this pious and serene atmosphere.”
