While traveling to the Char Dham, it may be that most of the people do not know where these four Dhams are and what is the importance of their visit.
In Uttarakhand, the journey of Gangotri, Yamunotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath is considered to be the journey of Char Dham, whereas the journey of these four is called the Yatra of Ek Dham. These are called Chota Char Dham.

Chhota Char Dham: Due to the high number of pilgrims in Badrinath and its being in North India, the people here give more importance to this visit, hence it is also called Chhota Char Dham. Apart from Badrinath, this small Char Dham includes Kedarnath (Shiva Jyotirling), Yamunotri (the origin of Yamuna), and Gangotri (the origin of the Ganges).
 
Why Chhota Char Dham is important: The above four places are considered to be the abode of divine souls. It is considered a very holy place. While Kedarnath is considered to be the resting place of Lord Shankar, Badrinath is said to be the eighth Vaikunth of the universe, where Lord Vishnu sleeps for 6 months and remains awake for 6 months. Here the idol of Badrinath, made of Shalagramshila, is in quadrangular meditation posture. Here the Nar-Narayan Deity is worshipped and the Akhand lamp is lit, which is a symbol of immovable enlightenment.
 
There are two mountains in the Kedar valley - Nar and Narayan mountains. This is the tapobhoomi of Nar and Narayan Rishi, one of the 24 incarnations of Vishnu. Pleased with his tenacity, Shiva appeared in Kedarnath. On the other side is Badrinath Dham where Lord Vishnu rests. It is said that in Satyuga, Badrinath Dham was established by Narayan. After the darshan of Lord Kedareshwar Jyotirlinga, seeing Lord Nar-Narayan in the Badri region destroys all the sins of a human being and he also gets liberation-in-life. The same effect has also been expressed in the Koti Rudra Samhita of Shiva Purana.

Below is the information about the major Char Dhams

 
1. Badrinath Dham: Situated on the summit of the Himalayas, the Badrinath temple is a great center of faith for Hindus. It is one of the four Dhams. Badrinath Temple is situated on the banks of Alaknanda River in the state of Uttarakhand. This temple is dedicated to Badrinath in the form of Lord Vishnu. Badrinath temple is established from time immemorial and is considered to be the holy abode of Satyug. It was founded by Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram. Before visiting Badrinath, it is considered great to visit Kedarnath.
There is a saying about Badrinath, one of the Char Dham, that 'Jo Jaaye Badri, Woh Na Aaye Odri'. That is, the person who has seen Badrinath, he does not have to come again in the womb. That means you don't have to be born a second time. According to the scriptures, a person must visit Badrinath at least twice in his life.
 
Opening time of temple doors: The doors of the temple are closed in winter on the second day (Padwa) of Deepawali Mahaparva. The lamp keeps on burning for 6 months. The priests respectfully close the doors and take the Deity and punishment of the Lord to Ukhimath under the mountain for 6 months. After 6 months between the months of April and May, the doors of Kedarnath are opened, then the journey of Uttarakhand begins.
No one lives in and around the temple for 6 months, but astonishingly, the lamp keeps on burning for 6 months and worship continues continuously. After opening the doors, it is also a matter of surprise that the same cleanliness is found as they had left.
 
2. Jagannath Puri: One of the four Dhams situated on the banks of the sea in the state of Odisha, India, the shade of Jagannathpuri is amazing. It is also included in the seven holy puris. The word 'Jagannath' means the lord of the world. It is a Vaishnavite temple dedicated to Lord Krishna, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu.
The annual Rath Yatra festival of this temple is famous. In this, the three main deities of the temple, Lord Jagannath, his elder brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra, all three, sitting in three different grand and well-equipped chariots, set out on a journey to the city.

3. Rameshwaram: Rameswaram, the third abode of Hindus, is situated on the banks of the sea in Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu, India. It is a beautiful conch shaped island surrounded on all sides by the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal. The Shivling established in Rameshwaram is considered to be one of the twelve Jyotirlingas. The belief of Kedarnath and Kashi in the north of India is the same as that of Rameshwaram in the south. According to the belief, Lord Rama had established Rameshwaram Shivling. Here Ram had also built a stone bridge before climbing Lanka, on which the monkey army reached Lanka. Later, on the request of Vibhishana, Rama broke this bridge at a place called Dhanushkoti.
 
4. Dwarka: One of the four dhams and one of the seven holy puris is Puri - Dwarka, situated on the western edge of the state of Gujarat on the banks of the sea. It is believed that Dwarka was settled by Shri Krishna and brought Yaduvanshis from Mathura and made this prosperous city their capital.
It is said that the original Dwarka was submerged in the sea but as it remains unchanged today as there are two places named Bet Dwarka and Gomti Dwarka. To the south of Dwarka, there is a long pond, it is called Gomti Talab. Dwarka is called Gomti Dwarka after its name. There are nine ghats above the Gomti Talab. Among these, there is a pool near the government ghat, whose name is Nishpaap Kund. Fill it with Gomti water
