#GangotriDham, located at the height of 3,100 meters (approx.) on the #Himalayan range in #Uttarkashi district of #Uttarakhand, holds a very special place in the hearts of #Hindus. It is one of the four sacred and important pilgrimage sites of #ChotaCharDhamYatra in Uttarakhand. Amid all the natural beauty and grace which the mountains and altitude of the place affords, what makes Gangotri one of the holiest places is its intimate connection with #RiverGanga (the #Ganges).

#GangaMaa (mother), the much revered deity of Hindus, originates from the #Gangotri glacier at #Gaumukh which is some 18 km from the #GangotriTown. It is said that #GoddessGanga came to earth in order to wash away the sins of King #Bhagirathi's ancestors. From the folds of mythology till the present time, #GangaRiver has always been a sacred source of purity for the mankind. Coming to Gangotri for a religious tour is not only a religious duty but a spiritual calling too.
