चारधाम यात्रा

13 Days

उत्तराखंड, जिसे देवभूमि या देवताओं की भूमि के रूप में भी जाना जाता है, कई मंदिरों का घर है और पूरे वर्ष भक्तों का स्वागत करता है। उत्तराखंड में श्रद्धालु जिन अनगिनत धार्मिक स्थलों और सर्किटों का दौरा करते हैं, उनमें से सबसे प्रमुख चार धाम यात्रा है। यह यात्रा या तीर्थयात्रा हिमालय की ऊंचाई पर स्थित चार पवित्र स्थलों – यमुनोत्री, गंगोत्री, केदारनाथ और बद्रीनाथ – की यात्रा है। हिंदी में, ‘चर’ का अर्थ है चार और ‘धाम’ का अर्थ धार्मिक स्थलों से है।

ऊंचाई पर स्थित मंदिर हर साल लगभग छह महीने के लिए बंद रहते हैं, गर्मियों में (अप्रैल या मई) खुलते हैं और सर्दियों की शुरुआत (अक्टूबर या नवंबर) के साथ बंद हो जाते हैं। ऐसा माना जाता है कि चार धाम यात्रा को दक्षिणावर्त दिशा में पूरा करना चाहिए। इसलिए, तीर्थयात्रा यमुनोत्री से शुरू होती है, गंगोत्री की ओर बढ़ती है, केदारनाथ तक जाती है और अंत में बद्रीनाथ पर समाप्त होती है। यात्रा सड़क या हवाई मार्ग से पूरी की जा सकती है (हेलीकॉप्टर सेवाएं उपलब्ध हैं)। कुछ भक्त दो धाम यात्रा या दो तीर्थों – केदारनाथ और बद्रीनाथ की तीर्थयात्रा भी करते हैं।

उत्तरकाशी जिले में यमुना नदी (गंगा नदी के बाद दूसरी सबसे पवित्र भारतीय नदी) के स्रोत के करीब एक संकीर्ण घाटी में स्थित यमुनोत्री मंदिर, देवी यमुना को समर्पित है। उत्तरकाशी जिला देवी गंगा को समर्पित गंगोत्री का भी घर है, जो सभी भारतीय नदियों में सबसे पवित्र है। रुद्रप्रयाग जिले में स्थित केदारनाथ भगवान शिव को समर्पित है। बद्रीनाथ, पवित्र बद्रीनारायण मंदिर का घर, भगवान विष्णु को समर्पित है। चार धाम यात्रा जितनी दिव्य है उतनी ही कठिन भी लेकिन आत्मा को तृप्त करने वाली है!

CHAR DHAM

Uttarakhand, also known as Devbhoomi or the Land of Gods, is home to numerous temples and welcomes devotees all year round. Among the countless religious sites and circuits that devotees visit in Uttarakhand, one of the most prominent is the Char Dham Yatra. This Yatra or pilgrimage is a tour of four holy sites – Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath – nestled high up in the Himalayas. In Hindi, ‘char’ means four and ‘dham’ refers to religious destinations.

The high-altitude shrines remain shut for around six months every year, opening in summers (April or May) and closing with the onset of winter (October or November). It is believed that one should complete the Char Dham Yatra in a clockwise direction. Hence, the pilgrimage starts from Yamunotri, proceeds towards Gangotri, onto Kedarnath, and finally ends at Badrinath. The journey can be completed by road or by air (helicopter services are available). Some devotees even do a Do Dham Yatra or a pilgrimage to two shrines – Kedarnath and Badrinath.

The Yamunotri temple, lodged in a narrow gorge close to the source of River Yamuna (the second-most sacred Indian river after River Ganga) in Uttarkashi district, is dedicated to Goddess Yamuna. The district of Uttarkashi is also home to Gangotri dedicated to Goddess Ganga, the most sacred of all Indian rivers. Located in the Rudraprayag district lies Kedarnath, dedicated to Lord Shiva. Badrinath, home to the sacred Badrinarayan Temple, is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The Char Dham Yatra is as divine as it is arduous but fulfills the soul!
