The current session of the Gangotri and Yamunotri pilgrimage is now about to end. As per tradition, the doors of Gangotri temple will be closed for winter on Saturday, November 2, and the doors of Yamunotri temple will be closed for winter on Sunday, November 3, an official release said.
Traffic has been suspended and the Yamunotri pilgrimage halted as boulders continue to fall at many places on the Yamunotri Highway for the last three days as persistent rains continue to wreak havoc in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, officials said.
