The Char Dham Yatra is one of the most sacred and significant pilgrimage circuits for Hindus, located in the Indian Himalayas. The term "Char Dham" translates to "four abodes" and refers to four holy shrines in Uttarakhand. These temples are dedicated to different deities and are believed to be the ultimate spiritual journey toward salvation. The Char Dham sites are:-
Yamunotri
Yamunotri:- Located at the source of the Yamuna River, this temple is dedicated to the Goddess Yamuna. Pilgrims begin the Char Dham Yatra here, symbolizing the start of their spiritual journey. The temple is located in a serene environment surrounded by snow-capped mountains and glaciers.
Gangotri
