away one's sins but also ensures an end from the cycle of birth and death. It
is also believed that heaven and earth converge in these holy shrines located
in the Garhwal Himalayas, and to be born or die here is a boon only the very
fortunate have. The Chardham must be visited from left to right or from West to
East -beginning with Yamunotri, going on to Gangotri, Kedarnath and concluding
