Help Sadhus Stranded on the Path to Gangotri Dham
The sacred Gangotri Highway in Uttarkashi the lifeline for thousands of devotees, sadhus, and local villagers has come to a standstill after a devastating cloudburst near Harsil village.The cloudburst caused massive landslides and flooding, blocking the only route to Gangotri Dham .
1.No devotees can reach the shrine.
2.Sadhus who went for darshan are unable to return.
3.Villages along the route are cut off from essential supplies.
For the sadhus, whose very survival depends on the daan (offerings) from yatris and travelers, this has created an unprecedented crisis. With no food, no income, and no means to travel back, they are struggling to survive.
Our Response – Shiv Dhaam Foundation
We have started emergency relief operations in Harsil Kothari and nearby villages to support stranded sadhus and impacted families.
We are providing:
Ration Kits (grains, pulses, oil, salt)
Ready-to-eat meals for immediate survival
Milk packets for children and elderly sadhus
Basic medicines to prevent water-borne diseases
Temporary shelter support for those cut off on the highway
Why Your Help Is Urgent
This is not just about food it is about preserving the dignity and survival of Sanatan’s guardians who dedicate their lives in devotion at Gangotri and along the holy Ganga.
Without your support, these revered sadhus and villagers will remain hungry, helpless, and stranded until the highway reopens.
