About Char Dham Yatra
In order to atone for sins and find salvation, the Char Dham Yatra is one of the pilgrimages that every follower of Hinduism is required to make at least once in their lifetime. The four sacred sites known as Char Dhams or Chatur Dhams stand in for the four yugas. The phrase “Char Dham” literally means “four holy shrines” or “abodes of God.”
Beginning from Yamunotri, pilgrims proceed to the well-known Gangotri, then the Kedarnath Dham, and finally arrive at the Badrinath Dham to conclude their trek. Upon the pilgrim’s completion of this religious journey, they experience profound mental tranquility.
