| First Winter Chardham Yatra Starts From Mukhba Village |
The winter Char Dham Yatra has officially been commenced
from 16th November from Mukhba. Mukhba is a village located 25
kilometer ahead of Gangotri. Congress MLA Vijay Pal Singh left for the yatra as
administration, temple officials and Army assisted him.
"For now, the
winter Chardham yatra has begun in Mukhba but soon it will begin in Yamunotri,
Kedarnath and Badrinath." He said. According to the MLA, arrangements are
being made to offer comfort and ease to the pilgrims
The state government pleaded the temple committees to temporarily
place the deities somewhere else in the winters. This proposal was approved
after the temple officials held a meeting with Chief Minister Harish Rawat on
14th October.
The deities have hence been relocated from Badrinath,
Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri to lower regions. Earlier the routes to the
original seats of the deities used to get blocked because of the snow. Now, it
would be easier for the pilgrims.
