The popularity of India as a spiritual land has very immense all over the world. India is a country that sustains hundreds of religions and cultural backgrounds. Here, people of varied religions live together in harmony and apart from following their own religion; they also respect other creeds and customs as well. The power and faith of people in spirituality is truly resolute and this nation is a home to wide number of shrines and pilgrimages where people pay a visit so as to sanctify their minds and souls and also to feel the real power of the Almighty. Every religion has its own pilgrimage centers where people come and pray to their respective Gods. Among all the religions that are being followed in this divine country, Hinduism is one of the oldest and most prominent religions and India has vast number of people who follow this religion. There are numerous holy places and pilgrimages that Hindu people can visit, but, in the Hindu mythology, there is a special place secured for a char dham yatra. This godly yatra is considered to be one of the most pious journeys to the four abodes of God.
By looking at the word ‘char dham’, we can conclude that the literal meaning of this word is four places that are the dwellings of gods. The four holy places that are covered in Special Chardham Yatra Tours are Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath as well as Badrinath. The most amazing thing about all the four destinations is that they are located in the pristine mountainous region of the Himalayas. People have boundless faith in the power and purity of this holy chardham yatra. This is because it is believed that a person who takes up this yatra at least once in a lifetime, he or she will get an easy release from the complicated cycle of life and death. Also, this yatra, if undertaken with immense faith and purity of soul, will surely wash away all your past sins. Also, one of the significant things in the mythology of the Hindus is that this yatra is only considered to be complete if it is done in the manner of the parikrima.
Precisely, there is a particular way of the journey that everyone should keep in mind before starting off for the yatra. You have to start from Yamunotri and progress towards Gangotri. After covering these two places, you should finally move to Badrinath and Kedarnath. The superlative thing about this celestial tour is that it washes the sins of the devotee away and leads him to the track of salvation also called the moksha. Every year, millions of people from India as well as from abroad take up this tour so that they can take out some time from their hectic lives for feeling the true connection with the Almighty. There are many pilgrims and devotees who even opt for Ek Dham Tour if they wish to explore a particular spiritual destination in an elaborate and vast way.
