In the Indian Garhwal Himalayas lies the Char-Dham, 4 of Hinduism’s most holy places of pilgrimage, nestled in the high valleys of the Himalayan Mountains.

The penance was successful and the river Ganges trickled forth from Lord Shiva’s matted hair, and its bountiful water revived the 60,000 sons of King Sagara. In the tradition of Bhagiratha, devout Hindus stand in the sacred waters, praying for salvation of their departed ancestors. It is the doorway to the sources of the Ganges and the Yamuna, Kedarnath and Badrinath, 3,000 to 4,500 meters up into the snowy ranges of the central Himalayas.

    CHAR DHAM HINDU TEMPLE Saturday, January 23, 2016 at 10

    CHAR DHAM HINDU TEMPLE SPECIAL PRAYER AND BRICK CEREMONY Saturday, January 23, 2016 at 10:00 AM 8044 College Park Dr. The Woodlands, TX 77384. The Char Dham Hindu Temple in The Woodlands will be a unique temple with all the four temples in one location, and the only one of its kind in the world. The design is modeled after the Char Dham temples (Char means four, and Dham means temple) located at four corners of India today – Jagannath Dham at Puri in the East, Dwarakanath Dham at Dwarka in the West, Badrinath Dham at Badrinath in the North, and Rameswaram Dham at Rameswaram in the South. Char Dhams are regarded as extremely sacred to all Hindus and pilgrimage to the Char Dhams at least once in a lifetime is a dream come true for Hindu devotees. It is further believed that Adi Shankaracharya purposefully established these four Dhams in four corners of India during the 8th century, in an attempt to revive the Hindu religion and unify all Hindus across the country. The construction of the Char Dham Hindu Temples in The Woodlands is just beginning. As part of this ceremony participants will receive bricks dedicated in their name to be built into the temples and be remembered through the life of the temple. Participating families will be provided with a set of four bricks – one for each Char Dham temple. The bricks will have the families’ names identified on them. Participants will join in prayers led by our priests and at the end of the ceremony, the bricks will be taken by each family and placed on the four temple ground locations where they will be used to construct the temples.

    Char Dham Project Is a Two-Lane Highway Project Currently Under Construction in the State of Uttarakhand by the Border Road Organisation

    Char Dham Highway Project The Char Dham project is a two-lane highway project currently under construction in the state of Uttarakhand by the Border Road Organisation. Upon the completion of the project, it will connect the four important pilgrim towns of Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri. The details about the Char Dham Project given in this article will be useful for candidates appearing in the government exams. Overview of Char Dham Project The foundation stone of the ₹12,000 crore project was laid at Parade Ground in Dehradun by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 27 2016. The highway construction project is called as Char Dham Mahamarg Vikas Pariyojana and its aim is to improve the connectivity to the Chota Char Dham. The Chota Char Dham itself is a pilgrim circuit nestled in the Himalayas. The highway project will also be will have railway links and several long bridges and tunnels to eliminate accident and slide prone areas Some more facts about the Char Dham Project is given in the table below: Char Dham Highway Project Total Length of the Highway 719 North End Mana South End Rishikesh Maintained by National Highway Authority of India Proposed Routes Rishikesh–Yamunotri Rishikesh–Gangotri Rishikesh–Kedarnath Rishikesh–Badrinath .Environmental Concerns regarding the Char Dham Project Environmentalists had pointed out that the unregulated cutting of tries and scooping up land at the base of the hills is irreversibly damaging the ecosystem as well as making the regions the project passes through dangerously prone to landslides. Although the government had given orders to the contractors to treat the slopes before moving on to the next construction point, it was found that most had not done so.

Since pilgrimage is an integral part of Indian culture and has significant participation, pilgrimage sites and centres are being used by political and corporate organisations to communicate specific messages. The political relevance of religion in our contemporary world cannot be disputed, particularly in the context of a growing consumerist culture and the divisive tactics of most political organisations. In such a scenario, pilgrimage traditions and centres are periodically taken over by political groups.

    Introduction In the Direction of Kedar When one had almost reached the Hindu shrine of Kedarnath, there used to be a point along the footpath following the Mandakini River where, in good weather, the top of the temple came into view against the backdrop of a bright, wide Himalayan panorama. In the related languages of Hindi and Garhwali, such vantage points bear the title of “Sight-of-God” (Hindi: devdarshini, deodekhni). Devdarshini is the point from which you are first able to glimpse the deity of a particular place, in this case Shiva in his Kedarnath form. Before June of 2013, devdarshini was located above the western bank of the Mandakini River, about two kilometers from the temple and twelve kilometers from the beginning of the footpath in the village of Gaurikund. The temple of Kedarnath lies on the valley floor at almost 3,600 meters above sea level, enfolded on three sides by mountains. Almost all travelers to Kedarnath, from perennial residents to first-time visitors to non-Indian regular visitors such as myself, used to stop at devdarshini to catch their breath, encounter the view, and take stock of the place where they were about to arrive. Devdarshini often evokes a strong response. I once spoke with a woman from the Indian state of Maharashtra who had come to Kedarnath seven times.1 She said that when she arrived at devdarshini she experienced what in Hindi is called sakshat darshan—a visual encounter with (or more technically a visual knowing of) the divine in its most true form.
