What is Char Dham Yatra?
Char Dham Yatra refers to the pilgrimage to four revered Himalayan shrines in Uttarakhand:
-
Yamunotri – Source of the River Yamuna, dedicated to Goddess Yamuna
-
Gangotri – Origin of the sacred River Ganga
-
Kedarnath – One of the twelve Jyotirlingas, dedicated to Lord Shiva
-
Badrinath – Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, located on the banks of the Alaknanda River
Devotees usually complete the yatra in a specific sequence — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and finally Badrinath — for maximum spiritual significance.
