Chandrashila Peak is a stunning summit which is located in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand. The majestic peak offers 360-degree panoramic views. Chandrashila Peak is just located just above the ancient
Tungnath Temple. The temple, which is the part of Panch Kedar, is already opened for devotees. However, the nearby site Chandrashila Peak has come into limelight after a priest from Tungnath Temple talked about it and said it is not a tourist spot but a spiritual site dedicated to ancestors.
Chandrashila Peak is not a tourist site, said Tungnath priest
Chandrashila is one of the most beautiful peaks in India. The site has become one of the favourite tourist destinations in Uttarakhand. But, recently, a priest of Tungnath Temple named Abhishek Mathini said that Chandrashila is not a place for sightseeing; it is a sacred place for ancestors. He appealed to devotees and tourists not to consider Chandrashila a tourist destination and to respect its religious beliefs and sanctity and maintain decorum. In a video shared by Uttarakhand Ujala, he said, Chandrashila is not a tourist spot, it is home to our ancestors, even, whenever we go, we go barefoot.
