Uttaranchal is known as Devbhoomi, meaning the Land of Gods.
The holy land houses some of the most revered religious
destinations of India. The Himalaya range in Uttaranchal are
said to be the home of the gods. This land is very sacred
for the Hindus as well as the Sikhs. Uttaranchal has always
been associated with spirituality, temples, pilgrimage, holy
shrines and mountain tourism. Uttaranchal is one of the
state in India which has some of the most important
pilgrimage shrines. Temples are scattered all across the
state and the holy river of Ganges sanctifies their
presence. It is suggested by the historians that the land
and culture of Uttaranchal was once under the influence
Buddhism, until Adi Shankaracharya revived Hinduism here in
8th century AD. The idol of Badrinath is said to be derived
from the Narad Kund by Adi Shankaracharya.
The sense of Uttaranchal gets completed by visiting the holy
places and getting oneself involved with the chastity of the
temples here. The godlike mountains, spiritual ambience,
melodious streams, mystic valleys, luxuriant forests,
magnificent fauna, perennial rivers, ageless pilgrimages,
all together makes Uttaranchal justly the Land of Gods. |
