The 1 Dham Yatra refers to a pilgrimage to one of the four sacred Hindu pilgrimage sites (Char Dham) in India. Depending on the tradition or context, it can mean:

1. One of the Char Dham (Adi Shankaracharya's Char Dham)

The four Char Dham sites established by Adi Shankaracharya are:

  • Badrinath (Uttarakhand) – Dedicated to Lord Vishnu
  • Dwarka (Gujarat) – Dedicated to Lord Krishna
  • Jagannath Puri (Odisha) – Dedicated to Lord Jagannath (Krishna)
  • Rameswaram (Tamil Nadu) – Dedicated to Lord Shiva

A 1 Dham Yatra in this case refers to a pilgrimage to any one of these sacred sites.

2. One of the Chota Char Dham (Himalayan Char Dham)

The Chota Char Dham consists of four pilgrimage sites in Uttarakhand:

  • Badrinath (Lord Vishnu)
  • Kedarnath (Lord Shiva)
  • Gangotri (Goddess Ganga)
  • Yamunotri (Goddess Yamuna)
