Himalayas as Devatma
The Himalayas in Hindu tradition are much more than a majestic mountain range that extends in a 2,410-km curve across South Asia. Hindus revere it not just for being a home to rare sanative herbs. To the Hindus this great grandfather-like figure has always been an abode of gods. So they referred to the Himalayas as devatma or God-souled.
The Himalayas is a spiritual heritage for the Hindus. From the Himalayas has originated so many life-giving perennial rivers that have sustained such a rich civilization. The most visited places of pilgrimage in India are located in the Himalayas. Prominent among them are the Amarnath, Kedarnath and Badrinath as well as Gangotri and Yamunotri - the glacial origins of the holy rivers of Ganga and Yamuna.
