Apart from the religious aspect, Chardham is also a major attraction for travelers around the world because it goes through some of the most delightful regions of Uttarakhand’s mountains.

History of Chardham

A very interesting fact about Chardham is, the four locations of Chardham as we know them, is called the Chhota Chardham. The original Chardham in India refers to the four different corners of the country. These four different places are Badrinath, Puri, Rameshwaram, Dwarka. The original Chardham was established by Adiguru Shankaracharya in the eighth century AD.

However, a shorter circuit was created later on. This shorter circuit included Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. These four locations created the Chhota Chardham. This is also popularly known as the Chardham Yatra in India. People believe that visiting the Chhota Chardham opens the gates of salvation. It washes away all the sins of a lifetime.

The starting point of Chardham is Haridwar. This is where you will start your journey for the four holy shrines. The first point to visit is Yamunotri, then Gangotri, followed by Kedarnath and Badrinath. There are also stories behind why such a sequence is followed.

Yamunotri

Yamunotri is the first place to visit because it is the westernmost pilgrimage of the Garhwal region in Uttarakhand. This is the place where you will find the origin of the river Yamuna. The story of Yamunotri is since Yamraj is the sister of Yamuna; he promised her on Bhai Dooj that whoever takes a dip in this river, will not visit Yamlok. Thus, they will get salvation. There is a Yamunotri Temple where you will see the shrine of Goddess Yamuna.

Gangotri 

The Gangotri Dham is located at Gomukh. it is at a height of 3,200 meters above sea level. Gomukh is also the source of the River Ganga. Since the river Ganga is known to be the source of purity, a lot of people take a dip in the belief to wash away their sins and embrace goodness. The legend is, when King Bhagirath meditated for a long time, River Ganga

Kedarnath

Kedarnath Dham is one of the most important locations of Chardham in India. It is also the most popular pilgrimage site because it is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Along with that, Kedarnath, Kalpeshwar, Tungnath, Madmaheshwar, and Rudranath shrines make the Panch Kedar.

The temple is 1200 years old. The story of Kedarnath is, when the Pandavas wanted the help of Lord Shiva to relieve themselves from the pain and guilt of killing their blood brothers, Lord Shiva didn’t want to help them. Thus, he disguised himself as a bull to roam around different places of the location.

When the Pandavas found him, he went underground. Only Bhim could get a hold of his hump. The other body parts of Lord Shiva showed in different parts. The hump of the bull was in Kedarnath, the navel came up in Madhya-Maheshwar, the two forelegs came up in Tunganath, the face was found in Rudranath and the hair in Kalpeshwar. These five places are called the Panch Kedar.

Badrinath 

The Badrinath Dham is the final destination of the Chardham yatra tour. Did you know that Badrinath is the most sacred of all the four Dhams in Uttarakhand? It is located on the banks of the river Alakananda. The Badrinath Dham is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Apart from that, it is also the place where Adiguru Shankaracharya attained salvation.

Unlike the other three Char Dham pilgrimage sites, Badrinath Temple stays closed for 6 months due to extreme temperature conditions and snowfall. Also, there is a hot spring lake in the temple. It is known as the Tapt Kund. The water of the Tapt Kund is always at a temperature of around 55 degrees Celcius throughout the year. It is a unique feature where even though the temple is surrounded by snow-clad mountains, the temperature of the water always remains hot.
