Gangotri Dham is located at the vicinity of the Himalayas and is considered as the first place where Ganga, the stream of existence, first stroked the earth. Goddess Ganga is the daughter of heaven according to the Hindu mythology. She transformed herself in the form of a river to pardon King Bhagirath’s ancestors of their sins with his harsh reparation of 5500 years. To lessen Ganga’s impact Lord Shiva put her into his matted hair. The Dham Gangotri means Ganga Uttari or Ganga fell. This memorial is situated at 3200m. There is an auspicious day on which the temple is unlocked, Akshaya Tritiya at the last week of April or the first week in May. When the temple is unbolted, a Puja takes place on both the inside and the outside of the temple. A closing ceremony is held when it closes on Diwali.
