Shri Adiguru Shankaracharya Ji coined the word “Chardham”. The term means the four Spiritual Destinations Or adobes of God. He combined two Hindu sectarian traditions. Kedarnath Ji & Badrinath Ji & two Goddes i.e Gangotri & Yamunotri which houses in the Himalayas and are generally covered by a blanket of snow and a piercing atmosphere. This Chardham Yatra is considered a must-visit pilgrimage tour by Hindus to achieve Moksha (Salvation). Every year around 2 lacs tourists visit this four holy adobe with complete devotion.
These four main pilgrimage site which forms present-day Chardham Yatra Package was considered to be very tough & wanderers like Sadhus, Sanyasis (Ascetics), one who has a steep inclination towards spirituality or who can afford to travel, only those people were visiting this till the 1950s. Because during those periods no roads were present & traveling the four pilgrimages of Uttarakhand meant embarking on foot through the hilly terrain. However, the exact year or when & how these four adobes were linked together & formed the circuit of Chhota Chardham Yatra is still not known to anyone.
Till during the Indo-China war (1962), there was no road connectivity to these holy places, but with time & massive effort of locals & government, infrastructure is being built & today the connectivity by road is very good & now helicopter services are also available.
As per legend goddess, Ganga took the form of river Ganga to absolve the sins of King Bhagiratha’s predecessors, following his severe penance of several centuries, & it is the place where Goddess Ganga descended on the earth when Lord Shiva released the mighty river from the locks of his hair to minimize the immense impact of fall of the river on the earth which could have to destroy the earth. Gangotri Dham temple is on the bank of the river Ganga & dedicated to goddess Ganga. Nepalese General Amar Singh Thapa has built the original Gangotri Temple.
Yamunotri is the source of the river Yamuna & the temple is dedicated to the goddess Yamuna. Sangya is considered to be the birthplace of the Yamuna in the Champasak Glacier (4,421 m) just below the Banderpoonch Mountain. Kalind Parvat is adjacent to the river source & is dedicated to her father Kalind (Kalind is another name of sun deity – Surya).
The original temple was built by Maharani Guleria of Jaipur in the 19th century, which was destroyed several times over the period. There is confusion that who built the temple & as per other beliefs the temple was constructed by Maharaja Pratap Shah of Tehri Garhwal.
Kedarnath temple is situated in the Rudraprayag district of Uttarakhand in the Garhwal region on the shore of the Mandakini river. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva & is open to the general public from April (AkshyaTritya) to Nov (Kartik Purnima). After November this area becomes inaccessible due to heavy snow & thus deity is brought down to Ukhimath & worshiped till the main temple gets opened.
Temple is not directly accessible by road, one has to trek from Gaurikund to Kedarnath temple which is around 22 km. Pony, Palanquin & Helicopter services are also available to reach the temple.
As per legend, it is believed that after the epic Kurukshetra war, Pandava wished to atone for the sins of committing fratricide (Gotrahatya) and Brahmanahatya (killing of Brahmins — the priest class) during the war. So in search of Shiva, they reached here, but Shiva wanted to avoid Pandavas because he was very annoyed by the deaths & dishonesty at the Kurukshetra war and was, therefore, insensitive to Pandava’s prayers. Therefore, he assumed the form of a bull (Nandi) and hid in the Garhwal region.
When the Pandavas managed to track & find him in this region, he tried to disappear by sinking himself head-first into the ground. Bhima (Second brother among Pandava), grabbed his tail, forcing him to appear before them and forgive them. The portion of Shiva body in form of Nandi appears at four different places & collectively these places are referred to as Panch Kedar. These Panch Kedar places are Kedarnath (Hump Portion) Tungnath (Arms), Madhyamaheshwar (Nabhi & Stomach), Rudranath (Face), Kalpeshwar (Hair) & Pashupatinath, Nepal (Head Portion).
The present temple, built in the 8th century by Adi Shankaracharya, stands adjacent to the site of an earlier temple built by the Pandavas.
Badrinath temple is situated in small-town Badrinath in Chamoli district of Uttrakhand. This place is considered very auspicious and is the fourth among Chhota Chardham Yatra Package.
The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu & is located between Nar & Narayan mountain ranges and in the shadow of Nilkantha peak at the height of 3,133 mts. It is the most popular of Vishnu pilgrimages among the five Badries, also known as Vishal Badri.
Chhota Chardham Yatra is one of the must-do trips for Hindus. Every Hindu must visit these places once in a lifetime.
Doors of the Temples get opened on Akshaya Tritya (April Mid – May Start) & get closed on Kartik Purnima (Oct Mid – Nov Start), so this holy Chardham Yatra can be done during this period but one has to book the Chardham Yatra Package well in advance to avoid the last-minute rush.
