“The carrying capacity of the shrines, arrangements along the travel routes, and all other related factors should be taken into account,” he added. Noting that there was a significant influx of devotees during last year’s yatra, Dhami called for meticulous planning and execution to ensure a better experience this time. Dhami highlighted the importance of developing the mythological sites surrounding the four shrines. “There should be extensive promotion of Panch Badri and Panch Kedar, along with their planned development,” he said.Pradeep Chauhan, coordinator for the yatra, said, “This year the number of devotees visiting the Char Dham Yatra was 4,804,215. Although this figure is 814,282 less compared to 2023, it is noteworthy as the yatra faced interruptions due to heavy rainfall and landslides.”
