Overview

Chardham refers to a set of four sacred pilgrimage sites in Hinduism, located in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. The term "Chardham" translates to "four abodes" and collectively includes Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. Pilgrims embark on the Chardham Yatra, a spiritual journey that takes them to these revered destinations nestled in the Himalayas. Each site holds significant religious importance, with Yamunotri dedicated to the goddess Yamuna, Gangotri to the goddess Ganga, Kedarnath to Lord Shiva, and Badrinath to Lord Vishnu. The Chardham Yatra is considered a sacred and transformative pilgrimage, attracting devotees seeking spiritual blessings and purification. The journey often involves challenging trekking routes, scenic landscapes, and a deep connection to the religious and cultural heritage of Hinduism.
