CHAR DHAM

The Char Dham of Uttarakhand refers to four sacred Hindu pilgrimage sites located in the Garhwal region of the state. These are Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath, each associated with significant deities and natural elements. Yamunotri is the source of the Yamuna River, Gangotri is linked to the River Ganga, Kedarnath is dedicated to Lord Shiva, and Badrinath honors Lord Vishnu. Pilgrims visit these shrines in a clockwise direction, beginning at Yamunotri, seeking spiritual upliftment, and connecting with the divine in the majestic Himalayas.
