Char Dham Yatra Uttarakhand -2025
The Char Dham or Chhota Char Dham of Bharat is located in the Garhwal Valley of Uttarakhand. This is one of the sacred pilgrimages for Hindus. Every year, this Yatra is open only for six months, from April/May till November, for Pooja and Darshan. It is believed that the Pandavas were the first to undertake this Yatra. The Yatra begins with Yamunotri, then Gangotri, from where we carry holy water from these rivers and offer it in the Temple of Shiva, Kedarnath, and next is Badrinath, known for Moksh Dwar (Way to Heaven). Here, your soul is freed from all sins and attains moksha.
The pilgrimage to the sacred Char Dham – Yamunotri (Temple of Yamuna River), Gangotri (Temple of Ganga River), Kedarnath (Temple of Lord Shiva), and Badrinath (Temple of Lord Vishnu) is one of the most revered journeys for devout Hindus. Char Dham, comprising the four most sacred Hindu pilgrimage centers in India, nestles amidst the lofty peaks of the Garhwal Himalayas. These ancient temples mark the spiritual sources of the four sacred rivers: the Yamuna (Yamunotri), the Bhagirathi (Gangotri), the Mandakini (Kedarnath), and the Alaknanda (Badrinath). Every year, millions of devotees undertake the arduous pilgrimage yatra.
The divine yatra fulfils every pilgrim’s wishes and pleases them with the blessings of deities. It is believed that once your soul is washed away with the water of the sacred journey in the abode of God. These are dedicated to the Sacred Char Dham Yatra of Hindus and are traveled by many pilgrims over the centuries in the hope of clearing all their sins and attaining Moksha (freedom from the cycle of life) so that their souls can reach heaven.
