The Temple opens on the religious day of ‘Akshaya-Tritya’, which falls, generally, during the last week of April or the first week of May. The doors of Yamunotri Temple will open on 22 April for 2023. The closing day is always on the sacred day of Bhai Dooj i.e 14 Nov 2023 after a brief ceremony.
The Yamunotri shrine will closed to the public for winter on Bhai Dooj with vedic chanting. This signal the start of the closure of the Char Dham shrines in Uttarakhand for the winters season.
When the temple closes for the season, Yamuna’s doli is taken to Kharsali (with pomp and rituals) where the pandits and purohits spend the winter months and where she is worshipped for these months. Yamunotri will reopen in the months of April/May next year.
