“THE PLACE YOU CAN’T IMAGINE”
The Char Dham is the most important Hindu pilgrimage
circuit in the Indian Himalayas. Located in the Garhwal
section of the state of Uttarakhand (formerly the
northwestern section of Uttar Pradesh), the circuit
consists of four sites—Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath,
and Badrinath. While each site is unique in its own
fashion, inclusion in the Char Dham has, over time,
caused them to be viewed together in popular imagination
and actual pilgrimage practice.
Nestling in lofty, snowy GARHWAL HIMALAYA’S peaks are
the four most pious pilgrimages of India- Sri Kedarnath,
Sri Badrinath, Yamunotri and Gangotri, collectively
called the Char Dham. The region (Uttarakhand) is
referred as the land of the Gods in the epic and Puranas.
Char Dham are the four seats of God in four
directions of India- BADRINATH is the North, RAMESWAREM
in south, DWARKA in the west and PURI is the east. They
were collated by the 8 th century’s Philosopher and
reformer ADI SHANKRACHAYA.
The importance of the Char Dham an
actual destination and an object of the national Hindu
religious imagination has increased significantly.
Buoyed by the development of new forms of bourgeois
"religious tourism" the Char Dham has become an
important destination for pilgrims. Today, the Char Dham
sees upwards of 250,000 unique visitors in an average
pilgrimage season, which lasts from approximately April
15 until Diwali (sometimes in November).
The season is heaviest in the two-month period
before the monsoon. Despite the danger, pilgrims do
continue to visit the Char Dham in the monsoon period,
as well as after the rains end. Although temperatures at
the shrines in the early winter months (the last of
October and November) are inhospitable, it is said that
the incredible mountain scenery that surrounds the sites
is most vivid after the rains have had a chance to
moisten the dust of the plains below.
