Overview
Chardham
Four pilgrim-destinations namely Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath, collectively known as Chardham in Uttarakhand. Attracting more and more pilgrims each year, it has become one of the most important hubs of religious travel in Northern India. Traditionally, this pilgrimage tour should begin from the West and end in the East. Thus, the Char DhamYatra commences from Yamunotri (Shakti, goddess), then proceeding to Gangotri (Shakti, goddess), and finally to Kedarnath ( Shiva ) and Badrinath (Vaishnava).
In accordance with the Hindu conventions, thousands of devotees take up this pious tour in the hope to experience bliss and successfully purge their souls of all worldly demons.
