The Uttarakhand Char Dham includes Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath,

and Badrinath, located in the Himalayan region of Uttarakhand.

These four temples form one of the most important

pilgrimage circuits in North India.

Why it is Significant?

✅ Each dham is associated with a sacred river or deity—Yamuna, Ganga, Shiva, and Vishnu.

✅ The journey traditionally begins from Yamunotri and ends at Badrinath.

✅ Kedarnath is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva.

✅ The circuit is believed to help cleanse past karmas and bring spiritual clarity.

✅ Pilgrims undertake this yatra as a path of devotion, discipline, and connection with nature.
