Divya Shila

Divya Shila

Divya Shila is a sacred vertical rock pillar at the entrance to the Yamunotri Temple complex, worshipped by all pilgrims before they proceed to the main shrine. According to tradition, the Yamunotri pilgrimage is incomplete without first circumambulating the Divya Shila and offering prayers. One of the unique spiritual rituals that distinguishes the Yamunotri Char Dham yatra from other pilgrimage experiences. A sacred stone deeply embedded in the local religious customs and practices of the Garhwal region.
