Overview
- Char Dhams in Hinduism holds great importance. Every Hindu devotee dreams of visiting the holy Char Dhams to fulfill the spiritual quest of attaining salvation. It is said that glimpses of any one of the Char Dhams remove the sins of one’s life. Of all the major Char Dham shrines, two shrines play a very integral part in fulfilling the pious quest of attaining Moksha. Lord Vishnu (the preserver of the earth) and Lord Shiva (the destroyer of the earth) are two of the three most revered Lords in Hinduism. Offering prayers to these two Gods holds high significance in this religion.
- The two most significant shrines dedicated to these lords are the Badrinath Temple (Lord Vishnu) and the Kedarnath Temple (Lord Shiva) of the Himalayas. Every year devotees from all across the globe visit the holy Badrinath and Kedarnath Dham to get divine blessings and eternal peace of mind. After the Darshan, something definitely changes in your life, i.e. your perspective of the world. The slice of the essence of the almighty will be very much alive in your soul, which will guide you and fine-tune your spirit in moments of darkness. One must do Kedarnath Badrinath Do Dham Yatra at least once in a lifetime.
