It is not accurate to say that Kedarnath was buried in snow for 400 years. According to historical records and local legends, the Kedarnath temple has faced several natural disasters, including heavy snowfall, landslides, and earthquakes, which have caused damage to the temple and its surrounding area. However, the temple has also undergone several renovations and rebuilding efforts throughout its history. The most recent disaster occurred in June 2013, when flash floods and landslides caused extensive damage to the temple and nearby villages. While the temple itself was not completely buried in snow, the surrounding area received significant snowfall, which caused damage to the infrastructure and made it difficult for pilgrims to reach the temple.
