That deep reverence, which Yamunotri has for the devout, is further enhanced by the icy cold water of the small Yamuna. The ancient sage Asit Muni lived here as a hermit, according to the star. like the view from the Yamunotri trek, which is dominated by towering peaks and dense forests. Black marble adorns the figure of Goddess Yamuna. The temple is dedicated to the river Yamuna, who is depicted in the form of a garlands-adorned silver statue.
