Yamunotri temple:

Yamunotri temple is the early point of the holy River Yamuna. It is the western mainly shrine in the Garhwal range of the Himalayas, balanced on the borders of Bandar-Poonch Parvat. The major attraction at Yamunotri is the temple devoted to Goddess Yamuna and the holy thermal Sulphur springs, about 7 km away at Jankichatti. The real foundation of the river is a frozen lake (Sapt Rishi Kund) and glacier called the Champasar Glacier, located on the Kalind Mountain, about a kilometer from the Sulphur springs. While the way to the glacier is arduous and approximately distant for common pilgrims, they offer ‘Puja’ in the temple itself.
