Significance

• Char Dham is a popular Hindu pilgrimage circuit
  in India that combines 4 holy sites - namely
  Dwarka in west, Puri in east, Kedarnath in north,
  and Rameswaram in south. This Chaar Dham Yatra
  draws devotees from all over the world who seek
  moksha or salvation and it is said that every
  Hindu should go on the Chaar Dham Yatra at least
  once in their lifetime. What makes this Chaar
  Dham Yatra special is the fact that each holy
  site is dedicated to 4 different deities, Lord
  Krishna, Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva and Lord Ram.
