Relation of Pandava dance to the land of Garhwal-
There are popular beliefs about Pandava dance that after the end of the war of Mahabharata, Ved Vyas Muni told the Pandavas that they have committed many sins in this war. Such as total murder, Gautra murder, Brahman murder because Pandava and Kauravas belonged to the same clan. And to get rid of these sins, sent the Pandavas to the shelter of Lord Shiva. And said that only Lord Shiva will be able to free you from sins. In search of Lord Shiva, the five Pandavas walk towards Mount Kailash. Lord Shiva did not want to free the Pandavas from the sins committed by them. Therefore Lord Shiva goes to Kedarnath to escape from the Pandavas. Pandavas come to Kedarnath in search of Lord Shiva. And Shiva takes the form of Mahish to avoid Pandava in Lord Kedarnath. But Bhima Shiva recognizes God as Mahish and as he approaches Mahish, Lord Shiva finds himself on the earth as Mahish. Legendary belief is that Kedanath was incorporated into the earth and Lord Shiva's head appeared in Pashupatinath Nepal. While other parts of the body like - Nabhi appeared in Madmaheshwar, arms in Tungnath, back parts in Kedarnath, Jata Kalpnath and mouth Rudranath These five pilgrimages in Uttarakhand -Kedarnath, Kalpnath,Rudranath, Tungnath and Madmaheshwar are known as Pacha Kedar.

Draupadi gives up her life at a place called Bhima Pul while going to Swargahroni. Nakula gave up his life at a place called Lakshmipati and Sahadeva at a place called Sahastradhara. After this, Arjuna gave up his life in Chakratirtha and Bhima in Santopanth. Only Yudhishthra reaches the heavenly place. With Yudhishthra it is said that there is also a farce.
