Chardham Yatra has a wholly different religious significance than other Hindu pilgrimages in the hearts of Hindu pilgrims. Consisting of Yamunotri, Gangotri, Badrinath, and Kedarnath, Char Dham Yatra begins from the month of April/May and remains open for just half a year. However, the exact dates are confirmed before the holy day of Akshaya Tritiya by the temple committee, Kedar-Badri Mandir Samiti. Akshaya Tritiya is a highly-sacred and prosperous day in the Hindu Calendar and is also esteemed as Akha Teej which is said to bring good fortune.
