About Yamunotri Dham
Yamunotri Dham is situated at an altitude of approximately 3,293 meters above sea level and is surrounded by majestic snow-covered mountains, lush green valleys, and peaceful surroundings. The Yamunotri Temple is dedicated to Goddess Yamuna, who is worshipped as the goddess of the Yamuna River. According to Hindu beliefs, taking a holy dip in the waters of Yamuna helps devotees get relief from sins and protects them from untimely death.
The original source of the Yamuna River is the Yamunotri Glacier, located near Bandarpunch Peak. However, due to difficult terrain, most pilgrims visit the Yamunotri Temple instead of the actual glacier.
Importance of Yamunotri Yatra
Yamunotri Yatra marks the beginning of the Char Dham Yatra. Pilgrims usually start their journey from Yamunotri and then proceed to Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath. The yatra is believed to bring spiritual purification, mental peace, and blessings of Goddess Yamuna.
Every year, thousands of devotees visit Yamunotri Dham during the yatra season, which generally starts in April or May and ends around October or November, depending on weather conditions.
