The Char Dham Yatra in Uttarakhand is a sacred pilgrimage to four revered shrines located in the Garhwal Himalayas: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. This journey is considered one of the holiest for Hindus, believed to cleanse sins and lead to salvation (moksha).
Significance:
- Yamunotri: Dedicated to Goddess Yamuna, the shrine is the source of the Yamuna River and symbolizes purity.
- Gangotri: Worshipped as the origin of the sacred Ganga River, the temple honors Goddess Ganga.
- Kedarnath: One of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, Kedarnath stands amidst breathtaking snow-clad peaks.
- Badrinath: Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, this temple is the most significant of the four and a cornerstone of spiritual devotion.
