Its main attractions are also its most famous cultural artefacts. India is a veritable haven for anyone seeking spirituality and tranquilly. The Char Dham Yatra is the most well-known of these pilgrimages and a top destination for travellers from all over the world. It moves from west to east, beginning in the state of Uttarakhand. The Teerth Yatra, or pilgrimage, is what the Hindus call the trip to the sacred places of Gangotri, Yamunotri, and Badrinath. Furthermore, Kedarnath is one of the four sacred locations dispersed throughout many districts of Uttarakhand.
The Char Dham Yatra is one of the most well-liked destinations to achieve salvation. Each year, more than 2.5 lac visitors visit these hallowed locations. This name, called "Char Dham," is said to have been revealed by the Hindu teacher Shri Adi Shankaracharya. The meaning of this name is "four holy destinations," or the locations where God resides. Scattered with snow and a delightfully crisp air, the region around these four spots is renowned for its magnificent peak mountains.
Indian Hindus believe that the Char Dham darshan purges them of all their sins and grants them entry into paradise. There's also the concept that everyone should come here at least once in their lifetime. These four sacred locations have great significance in Hindu mythology. According to Hindu mythology, Shri Adi Shankaracharya escapes reincarnation in the Shri Badrinath Dham. The starting point of the Chardham Yatra is Yamunotri. Make your way to the temple of Gangotri. The Shri Kedarnath Dham comes next, while the Shri Badrinath Dham comes last. Upon completion of the Char Dham, the pilgrim or visitors obtained mental peace, which is the main purpose of any trip.
Dham is a well-liked tourist destination among Hindus as it is the location of Yamunotri, the holy source of the Yamuna River. This holy river is associated with a well-known Hindu tale that identifies Yamuna as Brother Yamraj's sister. Brother Yamraj vowed to Yamuna on the occasion of Bhai Dooj that anybody who bathes in the Yamuna River shall get redemption and not be transferred to Yamlok. The Yamuna River's principal spring, or origin, and the dwelling place of Goddess Yamuna are both located within the temple. It is the most well-known religious location in the Garhwal area of Uttarakhand. Millions of people visit Yamunotri Dham, a holy place 3164 metres above sea level, mostly attracted by the temple to the goddess Yamuna and the hot springs of Janki Chatti. At Yamunotri, the cold Yamuna river purges the surrounding area. The Kunds of the Hindu goddess "Shakti," which are the location's thermal springs, are still rather hot.
Situated at a height of 3200 metres, the Gangotri Dham is on the bank of the Bhagirathi River amidst picturesque surroundings. The main hub of Gangotri Dham is Gomukh, the source of the Holy River Ganges. It is said that before the Ganga river appeared, King Bhagirath prayed for a very long period. The rock where King Bhagirath worshipped lies near to the Ganga Temple in Gangotri. The inside of the place as well as the riverbed are the sites of a specific Ganga prayer. Here is the beautiful and attractive temple of the goddess Ganga. It's said that the holy Ganga River is the source of sanctity and cleanliness. Because of this, before visiting the shrine, visitors bathe in this massive river.
All Hindus are familiar with Shri Kedarnath Dham as a revered location as it is one of the twelve jyotirlingas of Bhole Nath, or Lord Shiva, the God of the Holocaust. Tungnath, Kedarnath, Madhmaheshwar, Kalpeshwar, and Rudranath are all collectively referred to as Panch Kedar regions. Adi Shankaracharya is rebuilding the temple. The temple at Kedarnath, also known as "Kedar," was named for the Satyuga ruler. This place is open till Kartic Poornima at the end of April.
"Kedar" Kedarnath Temple, the most well-known of the four sacred locations, validates the importance of Shri Badrinath Dham. The position is 3,133 metres above sea level and lies on the left bank of the Alaknanda River. In the Dham, people offer devotion to Lord Vishnu, the guardian and preserver of the Hindu trinity Mahesh, Vishnu, and Brahma. Vishal Badri is another name for these temples. Additionally, Saint Adi Shankaracharya broke away from the cycle of rebirth in this region.
One of the holiest places for Hindus, Char Dhma Yarta, has an annual gathering of people. Pilgrims should always think about the best time to visit these sites before embarking on their journey. The greatest seasons and periods to visit these places are May through October; stay away from the wet season. Owing to an abundance of snowfall over the winter season, these places are all closed. Yatra doesn't take place during the rainy season since landslides might interfere with travel plans.
