Uttarakhand tourism to issue tokens for darshan during Chardham Yatra
The Uttarakhand Tourism Development Council (UTDC) has announced that tokens will be issued for darshan during the Chardham Yatra in India. The tokens will be given in one-hour slots and will be valid for four hours, reducing the long queues that pilgrims have had to endure in the past. The tokens will be issued at the entrance of the temples in Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri Dham, according to a statement.The Chardham Yatra is one of the most popular Hindu pilgrimages in India, comprising a tour of four holy sites situated high up in the Himalayas. Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri are the four locations. The temples are closed for around six months every year due to harsh weather conditions and are opened in the summer months (April or May) and closed again in the winter months (October or November).
The Chardham Yatra will commence on April 22 with the opening of the Yamunotri and Gangotri temples, followed by the opening of Kedarnath on April 25 and Badrinath on April 27. The issuance of tokens for darshan during the Chardham Yatra is a welcome initiative that will help alleviate the difficulties faced by pilgrims. The high altitude locations of the temple, combined with the long queues, have made the pilgrimage challenging in the past. The introduction of tokens will help improve the experience for pilgrims and make the process smoother and more efficient.
The UTDC's decision to issue tokens is likely to increase the number of pilgrims undertaking the Chardham Yatra, which will provide a boost to tourism in the region. The pilgrimage is an important event for many Hindus, and the UTDC's efforts to improve the experience for pilgrims will be appreciated by many.
