The Chota Chardham Yatra is a journey to four sacred sites
situated in the picturesque small towns of Uttarakhand, a state in northern
India. There are four distinct Gods and Goddesses honored in these four
temples. The four sacred temples of Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and
Yamunotri are visited during this yatra. The four temples that make up the
actual Chardham Yatra are located in the east, west, north, and south,
respectively. For this reason, the Uttarakhand “Chardhams” are known
as the “Chota Chardham Yatra.”
For Hindus, Chardham Yatra is an absolute must-visit
location. They contend that everyone should participate in the Chardham Yatra
at least once in their lifetime. All across India, pilgrims and devotees
participate in the Chota Chardham Yatra. To participate in the Chota Chardham
Yatra, people travel from all over the world.
The four dhams of this yatra are Badrinath, Kedarnath,
Gangotri and Yamunotri.
Badrinath Temple: – The town of Chamoli district, in the
state of Uttarakhand, is home to the Badrinath Temple. Lord Vishnu is the
patron of this temple. It is thought that while Lord Vishnu was meditating
here, his wife Lakshmi—a “Badri” tree—was shielding him from the
scalding sun and bitter cold breeze.
Kedarnath Temple: – is situated in the Rudraprayag district
of Uttarakhand, a state in northern India, in a small town. Lord Shiva, the
almighty god, is honored at this hallowed shrine. It is said that Lord Shiva
assumed the form of a buffalo in order to elude the Pandavas and prevent them
from finding him. Nevertheless, the Pandavas find Lord Shiva because they
sought self-absolution for their transgressions. After being impressed, he gave
them permission to worship him at the location of the present-day Kedarnath
temple.
Gangotri Temple: – is situated in Uttarakhand’s Uttarkashi district,
is the source of the sacred Ganga River. The goddess Ganga is honored in this
temple. To atone for the transgressions of King Bhagiratha’s forebears and
ancestors, she assumed the shape of a river.
Yamunotri Temple: – is situated in the Uttarkashi district
of the state of Uttarakhand, by the banks of the Yamuna River. Yamuna is
worshipped at this temple. Sage legend has it that Asit Muni once resided here
and regularly took baths in Gangotri. However, the sage could keep going to
Gangotri for a bath even after he grew old. The old sage could then carry out
his bathing ritual because a stream of the River Ganga appeared there as a
result of a miracle.
