Locations of the Char Dham
The Char Dham (Hindi: चारधाम, romanized: Cārdhām transl. the four abodes), also rendered the Chatur Dhama (Sanskrit: चतुर्धाम, romanized: Caturdhāma)[1] is a set of four Hindu pilgrimage sites in India,[2] consisting of Badrinath, Dwarka, Puri and Rameswaram.[3][4] Badrinath, Dwarka, and Puri are shrines of Vishnu, whereas Rameswaram is a shrine of Shiva.
Defined by Adi Shankara, each dhāma represents a particular yuga, with Badrinath representing Satya Yuga, Rameswaram representing Treta Yuga, Dwarka representing Dvapara Yuga, and Puri representing Kali Yuga.[3][5] Many Hindus believe visiting these sites can help achieve moksha (liberation or salvation).[citation needed]
The Char Dham is not to be confused with the Chota Char Dham, which is a devotional circuit in Uttarakhand.
