On Friday, the Char Dham Yatra of Uttarakhand is ready to open its doors at 7 a.m. on the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya. Shri Kedarnath Dham was opened with full rituals and Vedic chanting, which is among the doors of one of the twelve Jyotirlingas. On Friday, the doors of Kedarnath Dham were opened after six months for the devotees. It is shown in a video where the devotees can be heard chanting ‘Har Har Mahadev’, which is posted by a news agency. Uttarakhand CM Dhami and Geeta Dhami, CM’s wife, were present for the darshan of Baba Kedarnath, as the Char Dham Yatra was set to begin today. A video was also posted on social media platform X showing that the flowers were showered from helicopters as the doors of Shri Kedarnath Dham opened for the devotees.
It is said that all over the country, Kedarnath is one of the most worshipped temples, which is dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva. This six months, it stays open and attracts thousands of devotees and visitors from all over the country and beyond. The temple of Lord Shiva was decorated with 40 quintals of petals before the ceremonial opening of one of the country’s holiest places of worship.
The devotees had already started to arrive. On Wednesday, after the Panchmukhi Doli of Lord Kedarnath left Phata, the devotees had already started to arrive at the spot. Paramadhyaksh of the Parmarth Niketan of Rishikesh, named Swami Chidanand Muni, was hoping that pilgrims would visit the Char Dham in record numbers before the yatra. He stated that Uttarakhand has both ‘Switzerland’ and spiritual land. The state has Ganga as well as the Himalayas. This land gives inner power, spiritual energy, and joy to mankind. That’s why people come here. I believe this year will break the record set last year. Credit for this goes to PM Modi and Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami.
