16. Badrinath
• According to Hindu belief, Badrinath became
prominent when Nar-Narayan, an avatar of
Vishnu, did Tapasya there. At that time that
place was filled with berry trees. In the Sanskrit
language, berries are called "badri", so the
place was named Badrika-Van, i.e. the forest of
berries. The particular spot where the Nar-
Narayan did Tapasya, a large berry tree formed
covering Him to save Him from the rain and the
sun. Local people believe that Mata Lakshmi
became the berry tree to save Lord Narayan.
Post-Tapasya, Narayan said, people will always
take Her Name before His Name, hence Hindus
always refer "Lakshmi-Narayan". It was
therefore called Badri-Nath, i.e. the Lord of
Berry forest. This all happened in the Satya
Yuga. So Badrinath came to be known as the
first Dham.

17. Badrinath is a town and nagar panchayat in Chamoli district in the state of
Uttarakhand, India.
According to the Bhagavata Purana, "There in Badrikashram, the supreme
being (Vishnu), in his incarnation as the sages Nara and Narayana, had
been undergoing great penance since time immemorial for the welfare of all
living entities." (Bhagavata Purana 3.4.22)The Badrinath area is referred to
as Badari or Badarikaashram (बदरिकाश्रम) in Hindu scriptures. It is a place
sacred to Vishnu, particularly in Vishnu's dual form of Nara-Narayana. Thus,
in the Mahabharata, Krishna, addressing Arjuna, says, "Thou wast Nara in a
former body, and, with Narayana for thy companion, didst perform dreadful
austerity at Badari for many myriads of years."[13][14]

18. Rameswaram
• The second place, Rameswaram, got
its importance in the Treta Yuga when
Lord Rama built a Shiva-Lingam here
and worshiped it to get the blessings
of Lord Shiva. The name Rameswaram
means "God of Ram".

19. Ramanathaswamy Temple
(Rāmanātasvāmi Kōyil) is a
Hindu temple dedicated to
the god Shiva located on
Rameswaram island in the
state of Tamil Nadu, India.
The temple in its current shape
is believed to have been built
during the 17th century, while
Fergusson believes the small
vimana in the west corridor
belongs to the 11th or 12th
centuries.[6] The temple is said
to have been sanctioned for
construction by King Kizhavan
Sethupathi or Raghunatha
Kilavan.

20. (3) Dham of
Dwaperyug -
Dwarika,
• Dwarka located in the west is in the
state of Gujarat, country India. The city
derives its name from the word "dvar"
meaning door or gate in the Sanskrit
language.

21. Religious importance
As per Hindu legend, Dwarka was built on a piece of land by Krishna that was
reclaimed from the sea.
Since this site is associated with the ancient city of Dvārakā and the Vedic era Krishna
of Mahabharata, it is an important place of pilgrimage for Hindus. It is one of 3 main
pilgrimage sites related to "Krishna" circuit, namely 48 kos parikrama of Kurukshetra in
Haryana state, Braj Parikarma in Mathura of Uttar Pradesh state and Dwarka Parikrama
(Dwarkadish Yatra) at Dwarkadhish Temple in Gujarat state.
The flag atop the temple shows the sun and moon, which is believed to indicate that
Krishna would be there till Sun and Moon exist on Earth.[11] The flag is changed up to
five times a day, but the symbol remains the same. The temple has a five-story
structure built on seventy-two pillars. The temple spire is 78.3 m high.[11][12] The
temple is constructed of limestone which is still in pristine condition. The temple shows
intricate sculptural detailing done by successions of dynasties that ruled the region.
The structure was not expanded much by these works.

22. (4) Dham of Kaliyug - Jaganath Puri, Odisha.
• The Jagannath Temple is an important Hindu temple dedicated to
Jagannath, a form of Krishna, in Puri in the state of Odisha on the eastern
coast of India. The present temple was rebuilt from the 10th century
onwards, on the site of an earlier temple, and begun by Anantavarman
Chodaganga Deva, the first king of the Eastern Ganga dynasty.

23. The temple was built by the Ganga dynasty king Anantavarman Chodaganga in the 12th
century CE, as suggested by the Kendupatna copper-plate inscription of his descendant
Narasimhadeva II.[7] Anantavarman was originally a Shaivite, and became a Vaishnavite
sometime after he conquered the Utkala region (in which the temple is located) in 1112
CE. A 1134–1135 CE inscription records his donation to the temple. Therefore, the
temple construction must have started sometime after 1112 CE.
Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra are a trio of deities worshipped at the temple. The
inner sanctum of the temple contains statues of these three Gods carved from sacred
neem logs known as daru sitting on the bejewelled platform or ratnabedi, along with
statues of Sudarshana Chakra, Madanmohan, Sridevi and Vishwadhatri.[12] The deities
are adorned with different clothing and jewels according to the season. Worship of these
deities pre-dates the building of the temple and may have originated in an ancient tribal
shrine.

24. Adi Sankara, the Guru of Advaita, who is
believed to have started the Char Dhams
• The temple is one of the holiest Hindu Char Dham (four divine
sites) sites comprising Badrinath, Puri, Dwarka and
Rameshwaram.[18] Though the origins are not clearly known, the
Advaita school of Hinduism established by Sankaracharya, who
created Hindu monastic institutions across India, attributes the
origin of Char Dham to the seer.[19] The four monasteries lie
across the four corners of India and their attendant temples are
Badrinath Temple at Badrinath in the North, Jagannath Temple at
Puri in the East, Dwarakadheesh Temple at Dwarka in the West
and Ramanathaswamy Temple at Rameswaram in the South. The
temples are revered by the various spiritual traditions of Hinduism,
such as Saivism and Vaishnavism. The Char Dham pilgrimage is an
all Hindu affair.[20] There are four abodes in the Himalayas called
Chota Char Dham (Chota meaning small): Badrinath, Kedarnath,
Gangotri and Yamunotri - all of these lie at the foothills of
Himalayas.[21] The name Chota was added during the mid of 20th
century to differentiate the original Char Dhams.[2] The journey
across the four cardinal points in India is considered sacred by
Hindus who aspire to visit these temples once in their
lifetime.[22] Traditionally the trip starts at the eastern end from
Puri, proceeding in clockwise
