The Char Dham Yatra is a revered pilgrimage that takes devotees to four sacred destinations in the Himalayas, often called the "Four Divine Abodes" or "Four Holy Treasures.":
• Yamunotri: Dedicated to Goddess Yamuna, the second-most sacred river in India
• Gangotri: A sacred temple honoring Goddess Ganga, the divine embodiment of India's most venerated river.
• Kedarnath: Dedicated to Lord Shiva
• Badrinath: Dedicated to Lord Vishnu
The term "char" signifies four, while "dham" denotes holy pilgrimage sites. The pilgrimage is believed to bring the pilgrim on the path to salvation. It is traditionally completed in a clockwise direction.
