Do Dham Yatra: Divine Journey to Two Himalayan Shrines
For instance, Badrinath, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, welcomes pilgrims with the tranquil waters of the Alaknanda River and the towering presence of Neelkanth peak. The ancient Badrinath Temple, built in stone with intricate carvings, provides a serene sanctuary for prayers and rituals, resonating with the chants of sacred hymns and the fragrance of incense.
On the other hand, Kedarnath, dedicated to Lord Shiva, requires a trek through rugged terrain to reach the temple at an altitude of 3,583 meters (11,755 feet). The journey to Kedarnath unfolds amidst panoramic views of snow-clad peaks and the soothing flow of the Mandakini River, offering pilgrims a profound spiritual retreat in the lap of the Himalayas.
