History & Religious Significance of Yamunotri Dham

Nestled in the Garhwal Himalayas at an altitude of 3,293 meters in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, Yamunotri Temple marks the source of the sacred River Yamuna, the second most holy river in India after the Ganges. It is one of the four sites in the revered Char Dham Yatra of Uttarakhand, alongside Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath.

The present-day Yamunotri Temple was built in the 19th century by Maharani Guleria of Jaipur after the original structure was destroyed by natural calamities. Though relatively modern in construction, the site itself has been a place of worship and pilgrimage for centuries. The surrounding region finds mention in several ancient texts and Puranas, which reflect its long-standing spiritual importance.
