we have visited Kedarnath on the closing day itself and it is learnt that the temple will be closed every year on the day of "Bhai Dhuj", after Diwali. The temple will be closed early in the morning.

Hello,
you mentioned that you visited the temple on the closing day itself. Is it too crowded on that day, as in many devotees gather?
I was asking because I am planning to take my family and hence thought it is better to have an idea. Thanks.
