Spiritual Importance of Char Dham 

The Chota Char Dham Yatra derives its name from the all-India, historical Char Dham Yatra covering Badrinath, Dwarka, Puri and Rameswaram. The Char Dham in Uttarakhand covers the abodes of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath.

Yamunotri is home to the Yamunotri Temple and the source of the Yamuna River. Gangotri is home to the Gangotri Temple and the source of the Ganga River. 

Kedarnath is home to the historic Kedarnath Temple, one of 12 Jyotirlingas, dedicated to Lord Shiva. Badrinath is home to the Badrinath Temple, one of 108 Divyadesams, dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Visiting these abodes and paying respect to the deities is believed to eradicate one’s sins.
