Chardham Yatra Package

Char Dham ("four abodes") as defined in modern days are the names of four pilgrimage sites in India that are widely revered by Hindus. It comprises Badrinath, Dwarka, Puri and Rameswaram. It is regarded as highly sacred by Hindus to go to Char Dham during one's lifetime. The Char Dham defined by Adi Shankaracharya consists of four Vaishnavite pilgrimages.

The ancient pilgrimages sites in the Indian state of Uttarakhand viz. Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath had been recognized as Chota Char Dham to differentiate them from the larger circuit of Char Dham sites.

According to Hindu Dharma, Badrinath became prominent when Nar-Narayan, an avathar of Vishnu did Tapasya there. At that time that location was filled with Berry trees. In Sanskrit language they are known as Badri, so the place was named Badrika-Van i.e. the forest of Berry. The specific spot where the Nar-Narayan did Thapasya, a large Berry tree formed covering Him to save Him from rain and sun. Local believe Mata Lakshmi became the Berry tree to save Lord Narayan. Post Thapasya, Narayan said, people will usually take Her Name before His Name, hence Hindus always refer "Lakshmi-Narayan ". It was therefore called Badri-Nath i.e. the Lord of Berry forest. This all happened in the Sathya/Sath-Yuga. So Badrinath came to be recognized as the first Dham.

The second place, Rameshwaram got its significance in the Tretha-Yuga when Lord Rama built a Shiva-Lingam here and worshiped it to get the blessings of Lord Shiva. The Name Rameshwaram means "Rama's Lord". Rama himself is an Avatar of Lord Vishnu.

The third Dhaam Dwarka got its importance in the Dwapara Yuga when Lord Krishna, The Supreme Lord, made Dwarka His residence rather of Mathura, His birthplace.

The Four Shankaracharya Peeth (Seats) at the Chaar Dham school of Hinduism, produced at least four Hindu monastic institutions. He organised the Hindu practitioners below four Maṭhas (institutions/monasteries), with the headquarters at Dvaraka in the West, Jagannatha Puri in the East, Sringeri Sharada Peetham in the South and Badrikashrama in the North.
