The high energy blazar, Markarian 501 was observed as a part of multi-instrument and multiwavelength campaign spanning the whole electromagnetic spectrum for 4.5 months during March 15 to August 1, 2009. On May 1, Whipple 10 m telescope observed a very strong gamma-ray flare in a time interval of about 0.5 h. Apart from this flare, high state and low state emissions were also observed by Whipple, VERITAS and MAGIC telescopes. Using the photohadronic model and accounting for the absorption of the extragalactic background light to these very high energy gamma-rays, excellent fits are obtained for the observed spectra. We have shown that the intrinsic spectrum for low state emission is flat, however, for high and very high states this is a power-law with slowly increasing exponent.
