Hemkund Sahib 2019 Yatra
In the Indian Himalayas, at the headwaters of the holy river Ganges, is the 'northern land' of sacred mountains and waters known as Uttaranchal. It is said that here the landscape itself is imbued with sacred qualities, certainly the beauty of nature is interwoven with the spirit of pilgrimage. Unique among the sacred places here is a small lake, high above the tree line and surrounded by rocky peaks. Gururudwara Hemkund Sahib is on its bank, at an altitude of 4,329 metres, and is the highest temples in India. For eight months of the year this 'lake of ice' is inaccessible, its water frozen beneath deep snow. When the monsoon rains begin, the ice and snow melt, and meadows of ferns and moss and wildflowers colour its banks. Then, in their thousands, Sikhs climb the steep stone path to the lake and bathe in its chill waters. They come in remembrance and prayer to see the place where their tenth Guru meditated and realized his oneness with God.
