This is why the Yatra starts at Yamunotri in the west and proceeds towards Gangotri, then Kedarnath and eventually ends at Badrinath.
- Located next to the present Kedarnath Temple is the resting place of Adi Guru Shankaracharya. He travelled across the Indian peninsula on foot to spread the words of Advaita. He was a great philosopher, sage and saint who founded numerous temples, mutts and holy shrines across the country that are visited by lakhs of devotees to date.
- According to ancient Hindu mythology, Yama, the God of Death, promised his twin sister, Goddess Yamuna, on Bhaidooj that anyone who takes a bath in the Yamuna River will have their souls purified and will not face ill-timed death. It is one of the reasons why thousands of tourists visiting Yamunotri take a holy dip in the Yamuna River.
