Yamunotri Dham Yatra

Yamunotri Dham Yatra

Yamunotri, the source of Yamuna River and the seat of the Goddess Yamuna, the Yamunotri Dham is the holy journey at the height of 3293 meters at Uttarkashi district in Uttarakhand. The temple devoted to Goddess Yamuna and the holy thermal spring at Janki Chatti at 7 kms away are the major attractions of Yamunotri tour. The actual source of River Yamuna is at a fewer distance from the temple at an altitude of about 4,421 meters (14,505 ft). Besides, two hot springs can also be seen at Yamunotri Dham out of Surya Kund.

The shrine at the Yamunotri temple made of black marble is being constructed by Maharaja Pratap Shah of Tehri Garhwal. The temple opens on Akshaya Tritiya in the month of May and closes on Yama Dwitiya. The Yamunotri yatra can be experienced completely during the months of May to October and catching the glimpse of the holy shrine is really mind soothing and pacifying. The glacier lake of Saptrishi Kund on the Kalindi Parbat is the real source of the river Yamuna. The whole region remains snow-laden during winter and it is always advisable to carry woolen clothes since the temperature falls below 0° Celsius; even during the summers, the weather is pretty cold. It is generally believed that the springs surrounding the Yamunotri temple has supernatural powers which is why pilgrims carry raw potato and rice which they dip in the hot spring and regarding them as Prasad from the Goddess Yamuna take them home.
