2. Connection to the Divine
Each of the Char Dham temples is dedicated to a specific deity:
Yamunotri – Goddess Yamuna (Purity and Protection)
Gangotri – Goddess Ganga (Sacredness and Purification)

Badrinath – Lord Vishnu (Preserver and Protector of the Universe)
These deities symbolize different aspects of cosmic balance, ensuring peace, prosperity, and spiritual well-being.
