Due to heavy snowfall and intense cold in the region, the temple will remain closed until the winter season ends.
After the closure, the idol of Goddess Yamuna will be moved to a safer location in Kharsali village, known as Khushi Math, located in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand, where devotees can seek darshan during the winter months. The deity will be transported in a traditional palanquin decorated with flowers.
