Teen Dham Yatra is a religious pilgrimage tour in India that involves visiting three sacred Hindu shrines located in the state of Uttarakhand. The three shrines are Kedarnath, Badrinath, and Gangotri. The word “Teen Dham” means “three abodes” in Hindi. The pilgrimage usually starts from Haridwar, a holy city in Uttarakhand, and proceeds to the three shrines. Gangotri is the first stop, followed by Kedarnath and then Badrinath . These three shrines are located in the high Himalayas, and the journey involves a lot of trekking and walking. The yatra is usually undertaken during the summer months, from May to October, as the winters are harsh and the shrines remain closed. The Teen Dham Yatra is considered to be a very important pilgrimage in the Hindu religion, and it is believed that by visiting these three shrines, one can attain moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth and death). The yatra is also an opportunity for devotees to experience the natural beauty and serenity of the Himalayas, and to immerse themselves in the spiritual atmosphere of the region.
