Uttarakhand tragedy: locals fear pilgrims will lose faith.

Do Hindu Gods exist?
Char Dham consisting of 4 holiest of holy pilgrim centres in Northern India suffered major damages in the recent flash flood in Uttarakand.
Chardham Yatra is India's most devoted and featured part of India spiritual tour. Chardham is the most renowned and holy expedition in India that includes visiting to four glorious shrines including Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and lastly the Badrinath Dham. A visit to these holy shrines together forms the Chota Chardham Yatra in India. (courtesy: wikipedia).
(Comment: Similar damage could happen to any temple, including the most revered Tirupati or the other ones in Northern or Southern India, and the 'presiding deities' can hardly be expected to prevent such natural calamities or save the devouts as the current tragedy has conclusively proved)
