Importance of - Yamnotari Dham

Yamnotari Dham : The holy site of Yamunotri, the origin of the river Yamuna, is the westernmost temple in the Garhwal Himalayas. The shrine stands proudly at the top of a border of Bandarpoonch Parvat. The major attraction of Yamunotri is the temple of the goddess Yamuna and the sacred thermal springs at Jankichatti. The actual origin is a frozen lake of ice, Champasar glacier (often referred to as Yamunotri glacier), located on the Kalind Mountain at an altitude of 4421 meters above sea level, about km further up and is not generally visited as it is not accessible. Thus the shrine has been positioned on the base of the hill. It is very tough to approach the actual source, so pilgrims offer Pooja at the temple itself. The statue of the goddess Yamuna is made of beautiful black marble. Like Ganga, the Yamuna has the status of the divine mother for the Hindus and has been held responsible for nurturing and developing the Indian civilization.
