Ukhimath, Hindu pilgrimage town in Rudraprayag district, India
Ukhimath stands at 1311 meters elevation in Uttarakhand, offering views of snow-covered Himalayan peaks and housing multiple temples dedicated to Hindu deities.
The location received its name from the ancient marriage of Usha, daughter of Banasura, to Aniruddha, grandson of Lord Krishna, which occurred at this site.
During winter months, priests transfer the sacred idols from Kedarnath and Madhyamaheshwar temples to Omkareshwar Temple in Ukhimath for continuous worship.
The town connects to major cities through Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun at 200 kilometers distance and Rishikesh railway station at 180 kilometers away.
An All India Radio relay station, Akashvani Ukhimath, broadcasts from this mountain town, delivering programming across the surrounding Himalayan region.
