In June 2013, a wall of water and rock erased an entire Himalayan town in minutes. When the mud settled, almost nothing was left standing — except one 1,200-year-old temple to Lord Shiva. And behind it stood a single massive boulder that had split the flood in two.

This is the true story of Kedarnath: the deadliest disaster in the modern Himalayas, the temple that refused to fall, and the "Divine Rock" that scientists and believers have argued over ever since. We lay the geology and the faith side by side — and let you decide.

📿 This video separates documented fact (the 2013 disaster, the temple's survival, the boulder) from belief and legend. Where something is a matter of faith, we say so.

💬 When you look at the rock behind the temple — do you see geology, or do you see God? Tell me in the comments.
