During the Pran Prastisha programme Guru Jagad Sankaryacharya said that every people can worship here and it will be known as famous holy place in future. After visiting the Dham, people will get encouragement and a desire to do something. People will definitely come here to attain salvation.
He also said that, according to Hindu mythology, during the war fought between Kauravas and Pandavas when Arjuna was devoting in this particular place, Lord Shivaji revealed himself and blessed Arjuna. While Arjuna was praying a boar appeared before him which was being haunted by Kirateswar. Co- incidentally, the boar was killed by two arrows shot by Arjuna and Kirateswar and hence there arose a dispute for claim of the dead boar. In lieu of the prey, Arjuna begged Kirateswar for his favor for winning the battle against the Kauravas but Kirateswar declined the request rather committed to remain unbiased although he was inclined to Kauravas. It was believed that the help and favor of Kirateswar would be a winning weapon. Thus people still visit this sacred place with the hope of attaining salvation, peace and prosperity. Furthermore, they have faith in anticipation that having seen this place there would be forgiveness of sin.
It is believed that a visit to the place is enough to wash away ones sins. Char Dham, which is situated in India in four different places like East Jagannath, West as Dwarika, South as Rameshawaram, North as Badrinath Dham, where especially Hindus consider the main pilgrimage centers.
