Char Dham Yatra refers to a pilgrimage tour in India that covers four sacred Hindu sites located in the state of Uttarakhand. The term "Char Dham" translates to "four abodes" and the yatra (journey) is undertaken by devout Hindus seeking spiritual enlightenment and blessings.
The Char Dham sites included in the pilgrimage are:
Yamunotri: Situated in the western Garhwal Himalayas, Yamunotri is the source of the Yamuna River. The main attraction is the Yamunotri Temple, dedicated to the goddess Yamuna.
Gangotri: Located in the Uttarkashi district, Gangotri is the origin of the holy River Ganga (Ganges). The Gangotri Temple is the major pilgrimage site here, dedicated to Goddess Ganga.
Kedarnath: Nestled in the Rudraprayag district, Kedarnath is home to the famous Kedarnath Temple. It is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas (lingams representing Lord Shiva) and holds great significance among Hindus.
Badrinath: Situated in the Chamoli district, Badrinath is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The Badrinath Temple is one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in India and attracts thousands of devotees.
The Char Dham Yatra usually begins from the holy town of Haridwar or Rishikesh. Pilgrims undertake a challenging journey through the scenic Himalayan terrain, visiting each of these four sites. The yatra is traditionally completed in a clockwise direction, starting with Yamunotri and ending at Badrinath.
The pilgrimage season typically starts in April or May and lasts until October or November, as the region becomes inaccessible during winter due to heavy snowfall. During the yatra, pilgrims engage in prayers, rituals, and bathing in the sacred rivers to cleanse themselves spiritually.
Char Dham Yatra is considered highly auspicious among Hindus and holds significant religious and cultural importance in India. It is believed that undertaking this yatra can wash away one's sins and lead to salvation (moksha). The pilgrimage attracts millions of devotees from all over India and beyond, seeking divine blessings and spiritual upliftment.
