The portals of Gurudwara Hemkund Sahib in the Chamoli district were closed on Sunday for the winter season.
It is one of the most revered Sikh pilgrimage sites.
Hemkunt Sahib is visited by thousands of devotees from all over the globe every summer. The Gurudwara is situated beside a lake, and it is believed that the 10th Sikh Guru Gobind Singh had meditated at the site.
