A massive avalanche occurred over Gandhi Sarovar in Kedarnath on Sunday. A video showing the avalanche rushing down the slopes went viral on social media.

However, no casualties have been reported so far.

An avalanche occurred around 5 a.m. on Sunday morning on the snowy mountain located behind Kedarnath Dham.

"There was an avalanche from above Gandhi Sarovar in Kedarnath at around 5 am today. There was no loss of life or property," Rudraprayag senior superintendent of police (SSP) Dr Vishakha Ashok Bhadane said, news agency ANI reported.


The snow came down significantly from the mountain, and snow dust started to rise from the mountain. This caused a stir in Kedarnath. The avalanche continued for quite some time. However, it is not uncommon for avalanches to occur on this mountain.

Disaster management officer Nandan Singh Rajwar stated that the sector officer of Kedarnath reported that an avalanche occurred on the hill located above Gandhi Sarovar on Sunday morning. However, there was no damage caused by this avalanche. He mentioned that such avalanches occur from time to time on this mountain. "Such incidents happen when there is a significant snowfall. They do not cause any damage," he said.
