class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yamunotri Dham is located in Uttarakhand\u2019s Uttarkashi district and it holds lots of religious prominence in Hindu mythology.

Yamunotri temple was constructed by Tehri Garhwal \u2018s Maharaja Pratap Shah and was later renovated in the 19th century by Maharani Guleria of Jaipur.<\/p>\n<p>To reach the temple, you need to undertake around 6 6-kilometer trek from Janki Chatti. The trek passes through breathtaking sceneries, offering stunning views of the lush green valleys and Himalayan peaks. Gauri Kund and Surya Kund are two hot springs near the temple. Before entering the temple, pilgrims take a holy dip in these hot springs, as it cleanses their souls and bodies.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gangotri_Dham\"><\/span><strong>Gangotri Dham <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Situated at around 3048 meters altitude, Gangotri is one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites.\u00a0The place is known for the Gangotri temple which is dedicated to the River Ganga. Among all Ganga temples, Gangotri Temple is located at the maximum elevation and its prominence is also unrivaled. Amar Singh Thapa, a Gurkha leader, is believed to have constructed the Gangotri Dham temple. It is believed that the Ganges came to earth to wash away King Bhagirathi&#8217;s ancestors&#8217; sins.<\/p>\n<p>From the ancient period till the present time, for mankind, the River Ganga has been a source of purity. Gangotri Temple houses the idol of Goddess Ganga, who is believed to be the holy River Ganges personification. Devotees seek the goddess\u2019s blessings for salvation and purity and offer their prayers to her. On the exterior, the temple features intrinsic sculptures. Peace seekers and nature lovers along with trekkers, are overwhelmed by the breathtaking views of Gangotri and adventurous walks through this enchanting place.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kedarnath_Dham\"><\/span><strong>Kedarnath Dham <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kedarnath Dham is the prime attraction for worshipers of Shiva. It is situated amid the snow-capped peaks, forests of the Himalayas&#8217; lower mountain range, and enchanting meadows. It is located in a picturesque location, near the Mandakini River\u2019s source, and at 3,584 meters in height. It is considered to be one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and is an important temple among the Panch Kedars. Kedarnath Dham is also considered to be a part of the sacred Chota Char Dham Yatra. It is believed that Pandavas built this temple and Adi Shankara renovated it in the eighth century.<\/p>\n<p>However, the temple has been renovated many times over the centuries because of the damage caused by natural disasters like avalanches and earthquakes. It has been built in North-Indian style architecture with grey slabs or stones that are interlocked using iron clamps. The irregularly shaped idol of Kedarnath is the main attraction of the temple accompanied by a pedestal that measures around 3.6 meters in height and circumference. In Kedarnath Temple, all the rituals and daily pujas take place under Rawal\u2019s guidance, who is the temple\u2019s main priest.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Badrinath_Dham\"><\/span><strong>Badrinath Dham<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Badrinath temple is one of the sacred\u00a0Char Dham sites that holds immense importance for the Hindus. Its history can be traced back to the Vedic Age, which started in 1,500 B.C. The main highlight of the temple is the 3.3-foot-tall Lord Badrinarayan\u2019s black stone idol sitting in a meditative pose under a canopy of pure gold and badri tree. Adi Shankara found Lord Vishnu\u2019s fossilized black stone idol in the Alaknanda River. The idol is believed to be one of the eight most significant\u00a0Svayam Vyakta Kshetras\u2014Lord Vishnu\u2019s idols that manifested on their own without the help of any human.<\/p>\n<p>Since the 9th century, Badrinath temple has undergone many restorations and renovations, with its inner sanctum considered to be the only original part that remained undamaged. In the 17th century, the temple was expanded by Garhwal kings. The temple houses murtis of Kubera, Uddhava, Narada Muni, Nar and Narayana.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"History_of_Char_Dham_Temples\"><\/span><strong>History of Char Dham Temples<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at the history of each of the four Char Dham sites.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yamunotri\"><\/span><strong>Yamunotri<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3064\" src=\"https:\/\/www.udanaviation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Yamunotri-Uttarakhand.webp\" alt=\"Yamunotri (Uttarakhand)\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.udanaviation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Yamunotri-Uttarakhand.webp 750w, https:\/\/www.udanaviation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Yamunotri-Uttarakhand-400x240.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.udanaviation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Yamunotri-Uttarakhand-650x390.webp 650w, https:\/\/www.udanaviation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Yamunotri-Uttarakhand-250x150.webp 250w, https:\/\/www.udanaviation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Yamunotri-Uttarakhand-150x90.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yamunotri\u2019s legend starts with the sacred Yamuna River\u2019s birth.
