The Char Dham yatra in north India
India recognises two sets of Char Dham. The first set includes four different destinations in the four separate directions. The second set is the Char Dham in the Himalayas - Badrinath, Kedarnath, Yamunotri and Gangotri.
THERE ARE four most sacred abodes of God in India called the ‘Char dham.’ These are positioned in four different places in India i.e. Puri in the east, Dwarka in the west, Rameshwaram in the south, and Badrinath - Kedarnath in the north region. Yamunotri – the name is derived from Yamuna, and it is located in Uttrarkashi district of Uttarakhand.
It is believed to be the seat of goddess Yamuna. A complete day has to be spent in order to reach here from Haridwar, Rishikesh or Dehradun. However, the real test lies in the 6 hour walk from Hanuman Chotti that is the last motor accessible place. You need to walk a long stretch in order to visit the holy place. The hot spring here is a geographical phenomenon that lures many.
The name Gangotri comes from Ganga, and the place is considered the abode of Goddess Ganga. This spiritual destination is positioned on banks of the river Bhagirati. The goddess is worshiped every evening and the whole ritual is a must see when you are visiting the dhams in North India. The whole majestic view of thousands of earthen lamps floating on the river has a mesmerizing effect. It is connected by day’s journey from Haridwar, Rishikesh or Dehradun.
Kedarnath and Badrinath are recognised as the most famous devotional places of India. Thousands of devotees visit these shrines with profound religious feeling from all over the world every year.
