Welcome to Chardham Yatra

The great Hindu philosopher and reformer Adi Shankaracharya initiated the Char Dham yatra in an attempt to revive the Hindu religion during the 8th century. The word Char Dham refers to the four abodes of God, namely Badrinath Dham, Kedarnath Dham, Gangotri Dham and Yamunotri Dham at the Himalayan region of Garhwal (Uttrakhand). All these locations are believed to be highly sacred by the Hindu religion. While Kedarnath Yatra is home to lord Shiva and Badrinath Yatra is home to Lord Vishnu. Yamunotri Yatra represent goddess of Shakti Yamuna, and Gangotri Yatra represent Goddess of Shakti Ganga.
