The revered Gangotri and Yamunotri temples in Uttarakhand, India, will soon close their doors for the winter season, marking the end of the annual pilgrimage. Special prayers and rituals will be held before the closure, culminating in the festival idol of Ganga ji being moved to Mukhwa village and Yamuna ji to Kharsali village. The temples will reopen in the spring, welcoming pilgrims back to the sacred Himalayan sites.
