About Gangotri Dham Yatra
Gangotri has deep religious and historical significance in Hinduism. Located in Uttarakhand, India, this sacred site marks the source of the Ganga River, worshipped as the goddess Ganga in Hindu mythology.
The religious significance of Gangotri stems from ancient Hindu scriptures and legends. According to these texts, King Bhagirath's intense penance and prayers to Lord Brahma resulted in the descent of the Ganges from the heavens to the earth. It was in Gangotri that the goddess Ganga manifested and brought her purifying waters to the mortal realm.
