What is DoDham Yatra and Why Is It So Special?
DoDham Yatra is a Hindu pilgrimage, a journey to the two holy Hindu temples, Kedarnath (in honour of Lord Shiva) and Badrinath (in honour of Lord Vishnu). These temples are part of the ‘Char Dham’ of the Himalayas and have great significance among the devotees for the journey to attain Moksha or to get liberated.
Religious Then Standing
● Over the site is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, the Kedarnath Dham, where many devotees visit this place for salvation from their sins. Its remote 3,500-plus metre altitude hermitage location is enough to make the pilgrimage a test of faith and stamina in itself.
● Funded by the Badrinath-Kedarnath temple committee, Badrinath, one of the holiest temples of Lord Vishnu, sits on the bank of the Alaknanda River, where you will find salvation for the future, and you can also find peace with serenity. Collectively, these shrines are said to deliver the divine soul and bring the devotee nearer to Moksha.
Mythological Importance Story of Temples:
The Legends of the Pandavas and the Mahabharata epic are closely associated with the lore connected to these temples. After the war of Kurukshetra, which the Pandavas won and defeated their blood relatives, the Kauravas and took back their kingdom, they discovered it had been stained with blood. To escape from them, Shiva fled and took the animal disguise of a bull at Kedarnath (where he was adored by the Pandavas), of the Mahabharata fame. Badrinath, first of all, is described in the Vishnu Purana and has been a reputed place of pilgrimage from time immemorial, where the sages, it is said, wrote their great work, the Vedas.
