Overview

The term “Chardham” refers to the four sacred pilgrimage sites in Hinduism, located in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. These four sites are:

YAMUNOTRI: This is the source of the Yamuna River and is located in the Garhwal Himalayas. The main attraction here is the Yamunotri Temple, dedicated to Goddess Yamuna.

GANGOTRI: It is the origin of the Ganges River and is situated in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. The Gangotri Temple, dedicated to Goddess Ganga, is the main pilgrimage site here.

KEDARNATH: This site is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas (divine light) in Hinduism. Kedarnath is nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas and is famous for the Kedarnath Temple, which is believed to have been built by the Pandavas.

BADRINATH: Located in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, Badrinath is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The Badrinath Temple, also known as Badrinarayan Temple, is an important pilgrimage site and is one of the 108 Divya Desams dedicated to Vishnu.

The Chardham pilgrimage holds immense spiritual significance for Hindus, and many devotees undertake this journey to seek blessings and spiritual purification. The pilgrimage season typically starts in late April or early May and lasts until November, as the region becomes inaccessible during the winter months due to heavy snowfall.
