Winter Char Dham Yatra: Where do the deities go when the Char Dham is closed for the winter season?
When the Char Dham shrines close for winter, deities are ceremonially moved to lower-altitude abodes, allowing worship to continue. Kedarnath shifts to Ukhimath, Badrinath to Joshimath, Gangotri to Mukhba village, and Yamunotri to Kharsali village. This tradition ensures continuous devotion and offers a serene, accessible pilgrimage experience during the colder months.
