edarnath is named after King Kedar of honor, who ruled in the Satya Yuga. I have had a daughter named Vrinda who was a partial incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi. She performed austerities for several years and the land is named after her as Vrindavan. However, Kedarnath and its temple exist from the Mahabharata era When the Pandavas are supposed To Have pleased Lord Shiva by doing penance there.
