The portals of Kedarnath Dham are set to open on Wednesday, allowing devotees to seek blessings at one of Hinduism’s most sacred shrines. 

The opening of Badrinath Dham on April 23 will mark the full commencement of the Char Dham Yatra 2026 in Uttarakhand.

There is immense enthusiasm among devotees across the state
