It is the first shrine Yamunotri(3185m), source of the river Yamuna,
is the westernmost shrine in the Garhwal Himalayas, which emerges
from a frozen lake of ice and glacier(Champasar glacier)
located on the kalind mountain at the height of 4421 m above sea
level, about 1 km further up, is not frequented generally as it is
not accessible and hence the shrine has been located on the foot of
the hill. The tiny Yamuna has icy cold water and its absolute
innocence and the infantile purity heightens that deep feeling of
reverence, Yamunoyri for the devout. |
