India has a group of four pilgrimage destinations known as the Char Dham. It is thought that visiting these locations aids in receiving moksha (salvation). Badrinath, Dwarka, Puri, and Rameswaram are the four Dhams. Every Hindu is supposed to travel to the Char Dhams at least once in their lives. These primary “dhamas” are Lord Vishnu shrines, while Rameshwaram is a Lord Shiva shrine.

In addition to this, there is a Chota Char Dham. It is a smaller, more well-known circuit in Uttarakhand that includes the four pilgrimage sites of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath.

So, if you are visiting the Char Dham Yatra, be sure to contact this facility centre in case of emergency or query!
