subject: Gangotri- One Of The Dham [print this page] The position of initiation of shri Bhagirathi is positioned at a distance of 28 kms. The place of worship of Bhagirathi is located at Gangotri. In this place of worship figures of Shri Ganga ji, Yamuna ji, Lakshmi ji, Saraswati ji, Parwati ji and Annapurna ji are seen. All items of Pooja are prepared up by Gold only. An impenetrable jungle of deodar is also to be found here. The shrine of Ganga is sited on the right bank of the Bhagirathi (Ganga) and its voyage can be observed in a variety of moods profound and quiet in the lower plains, but at Gangotri, Bhagirathi it is splashing, hurling, frothing and lively in an overjoyed air. Bhagirthi is pretty diverse from Alaknanda, Saraswati and Yamuna, so the stream of Gangotri is taken to Rameshwaram in south India and presented to Lord Shiva. There are in addition a few Ashrams and Dharamshalas on the left bank of Bhagirathi.
Gaumukh
Gaumukh is the known resource of Ganga. The Gangotri Glacier which is approximately 6 to 8 KM in breadth and just about 24 K.M in distance end to end is positioned at an altitude of 4255 m beyond sea level and placed in the mind of the Gangotri Peaks. The most excellent time to holiday in Gaumukh is from June to Septmber every year. Earlier than June and subsequent to October the bristle pathway can be full of danger.
Devotees take one dip very soon in the freezing water of Gaumhukh and the Hindus with parochial outlook suppose that even a lone dip in the Gaumukuhi water is enough to clean away all the sins and accomplish the intention of one's life. Just 3 kms from Gaumukh, amid the two Glaciers, Meru and Gangotri, there extends a huge plain Known as "Tapovanam". It is an enormously stunning spot that enthralls the mind by its usual charisma. Nandanvan is opposite Tapovan.
Yamunotri
The shrine of Yamuna ji is the chief place of worship. In the vicinity of this temple there are a small number of hot water springs where the water comes out of the mountains hollow space and is scorching hot. Surya-Kund is the main kund. A dash of rice or potatoes, put with a loose knot in a cloth, are put in it and following a few minutes when taken out they are wholly cooked. These are taken home and used as prasad. In the close proximity to the Surya Kund there is a shila called Divya-Shila which is respected before puja is offered to Yamunaji.
Close by is the Jamuna Bai Kund constructed about 75 years ago and is used for a sacred bath. The water is pleasingly warm and comforting.
