Chardham Yatra
Char Dham is referred to the four Hindu religious sites in Uttarakhand state of India - Yamunotri, Gangotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath. Nestled in the lap of majestic Himalayas, these four sites are the epicenter of religious activity in north India. Traditionally, the yatra is undertaken from the west to the east i.e. starting from Yamunotri, then proceeding to Gangotri and finally to Kedarnath and Badrinath.
Amongst the four Char Dhams, Yamunotri and Gangotri are origins of the rivers Yamuna and Ganga respectively, which are worshipped as Goddesses. On the other hand, Kedarnath is dedicated to Lord Shiva while Badrinath is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. One may also visit Hemkund Sahib in the vicinity, which is one of the highest located religious sites in the country.
Visit to these places are not only in aspiration of washing away sins, experience eternal bliss and to attain salvation, but also because the picturesque surroundings of the mountainous region are simply enthralling, giving the visitors a perfect opportunity to unwind themselves by filling their lungs with fresh air.
Moreover, these otherwise silent and tranquil locales resound with the names of the Lord as the pilgrims advance towards their destination.
