Finally, we arrive at Yamunotri and devotees take a dip in the hot water kund prior to entering the temple. Yamunotri is usually the starting point of the char dham yatra and the Yamunotri temple is dedicated to Goddess Yamuna. Some opt to cook rice in the hot water and take it back home as “prasad”.
