Is Uttarakhand ready for Chardham Yatra 2015

The infrastructure in Uttarakhand that was devastated by the flash flood calamity of 2013 has been rebuilt and the state has also developed additional facilities to welcome pilgrims for a safe 'Char Dham yatra' in this year 2015.

Chief Minister Harish Rawat has stated that after 2013 devastation, various security measures have been taken to ensure safe and enjoyable journey for all chardham yatris visiting uttarakhand this year in 2015.

Last year in 2014 Mr. Rawat’s government was being accused of failing to conduct the Yatra. 150-200 buses used to go on chardham Yatra every year but last year number drastically dropped to only 15-20 buses everyday visiting these shrines. Due to blocked highways and unrepaired roads, it was being suspected that, if conditions like these persist, the yatra in 2015 would also be a failure.

Mr Rawat assured that the state is building a three-tier protection system will prevent floods with three times the velocity of the 2013 disaster. Four helipads have also been already built at pilgrimage sites for a enjoyable journey.

 Biometric registration counters are already in place at entry points to the state and on yatra routes. Also, five base camps, 48 wayside amenities, seven ghats and 12 night shelters have been put up for the Chardham Yatra India in 2015.

"A special task force comprising police and members from the Nehru Institute of Mountaineering at Uttarkashi, has been set up for the Kedarnath route from Bhimbali which will function under the district magistrate of Rudraprayag.

Additionally, services of private helicopter operators have been engaged to take pilgrims to Kedarnath. The state government is also giving a tax holiday for one year to hoteliers en route to the Chardham, which will enable them to provide low-cost accommodation and food to pilgrims.

The Blessed Shrine

Amarnath Cave

There are many legends behind the discovery of the holy shrine. One of the most well known is related to Lord Shiva and Maa Parvati. Once Maa Parvati asked Lord Shiva that why he is wearing beads of heads (Mund Mala). Lord Shiva replied that whenever you die, I add a head to my bead. Maa Parvati asked him I die again and again but you are immortal. Maa Parvati forced Lord Shiva to tell her the secret behind it. Lord Shiva started searching a lonely place where no one can listen to ‘Amarkath’. Lord Shiva left his Nandi at Pahalgam, moon at Chandanwari, snake at Sheshnag and his son Ganesh at Mahagunas Parvat. At Panjtarni, Lord Shiva left five element –sky,earth,water,fire,air which gives birth o life. After that ,Lord Shiva entered to Amarnath Cave. Lord Shiva created Kalagni and ordered him to eliminate every living being around the holy cave.

Many pilgrims says that while Amarnathyatra, they see a pair of pigeons .And they are amazed to see that how they survived at so much of cold and high altitute area.
