About Chardham Temple
In Uttarakhand, there are four sacred temples dedicated to the Hindu gods and sacred rivers of India. The Garhwal region is home to the four shrines. The "Char Dhaam of Uttarakhand" is a collective term for these three. "Char Dhaam Yatra" attracts devotees from all across India and the world. Throughout Hinduism, the Char Dhaam Yatra is regarded as sacred and revered. Char Dhaam Yatra is a sacred Hindu pilgrimage that is supposed to be completed at least once in a person's lifetime.
The Char Dhaam Yatra of Uttarakhand traditionally begins in Haridwar and Rishikesh. In the plains, both cities are easily accessible through road and train from other Indian cities, including New Delhi. Dehradun, which has an airport, is also accessible by road. As a result, Piligrims can fly to Dehradun from Delhi and other Indian cities and then take a road trip to Haridwar and Rishikesh.
