Char Dham shrines visited by over 2 lakh pilgrims

 

Dehradun : Uttarakhand Devasthanam Board Management member Dr Harish Gaur on Friday said that, over two lakh pilgrims have reached Char Dham so far since the gates of the temples were opened, despite covid regulations. He also said that the doors of Shri Gangotri Dham will be closed on November 5, and that of Shri Kedarnath Dham and Shri Yamunotri Dham on November 6 while the Shri Badrinath Dham will be shut on November 20.

 

‘The doors of the Tritiya (third) Kedar Shri Tungnath Temple will close on October 30 and Dwitiya (second) Kedar Shri Madmaheshwar Temple on November 22 for winter. Shri Madmaheshwar Fair will be held on November 25’, Harish Gaur said.

 

The Char Dham Yatra began on September 18 this year, after the Nainital High Court lifted the ban on Chardham Yatra on September 16. The court has allowed only fully Covid vaccinated people with a mandatory Covid negative report, for the annual pilgrimage. This yatra attracts lakhs of tourists and devotees every year from across the country and abroad.
