Singer Kailash Kher today met Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat and gave a presentation on a musical serial made by him on the famous Himalayan temple Kedarnath.

Made in 12 episodes, each lasting 40 minutes, the serial claims to give authentic information on the famed Himalayan shrine located in Uttarakhand, an official release said

After viewing the presentation, Rawat asked Chief Secretary Shatrughna Singh to work out a detailed action plan in consultation with the State Tourism and Information departments to make maximum use of the serial to arouse people's interest in the shrine and information related to it, the release said.
 

He even suggested that short 2-minute films can also be made out of the serial to generate interest about the ancient temple and disseminate information related to its past to people in general.

Rawat government is taking steps to add new features to Kedarnath yatra to generate interest in visitors so that more people visit the shrine which was witness to largescale devastation in the wake of the June 2013 natural disaster.

In keeping with his plans to generate renewed interest among people to visit the famed temple, Rawat yesterday laid the foundation stone of a yoga and meditation centre at Kedarnath.

It is to be built by the JSW Foundation close to the shrine at a cost of Rs 10 crore.
