FAQs
The Chardham Yatra starts in April or May and goes on until October or November. The doors of all four temples (Badrinath, Kedarnath, Yumunotri, and Gangotri) stay open until the "Diwali Festival," which is celebrated every year in October or November.
Hindus celebrate "Diwali festival," which is also known as "Deepawali." The holy saints, gurus, and priests select when this festival will happen based on the Hindu calendar. After Diwali, the doors of all the temples stay closed for five or six months because of heavy snow and very cold weather. This is because all of these temples are in the remote parts of the Himalayan Mountains, where the weather is unpredictable and life is hard to survive.

According to Hindu mythology, Char Dham signifies "four holy places" in India. The Chardham of India, which includes Puri, Dwarka, Badrinath, and Rameshwaram, is the most holy of all pilgrimages. People think that going on a pilgrimage to these sacred sites in the four corners of India can wash away their sins and free them from the cycle of birth and death.
Some people, nonetheless, termed these places Char Dham—Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinathji (in Uttaranchal). These places are sacred, but they are not literally char dham. All Dhams are holy places, but "Char Dham" specifically refers to Puri, Dwarka, Badrinath, and Rameshwaram, where four Shankaracharyas live.
