About Bada Char Dham

Four sacred directions, one pilgrimage

The Char Dham are four of Hinduism's holiest pilgrimage sites, traditionally understood to mark the four cardinal directions of the subcontinent: Rameshwaram in the south, Dwarka in the west, Jagannath Puri in the east, and Badrinath in the north. Bada Char Dham brings together everything a pilgrim needs to plan a visit to each — temple history and architecture, daily ritual timings, festival calendars, food, shopping, and practical travel guidance.
