A soldier from the Indian Army visits the Karkateshwar Mahadev Temple and Ashram in Kakrighat, Uttarakhand, India, on April 20, 2024. Karkateshwar Mahadev Temple is located along the Vivekananda Trail and is the place where Swami Vivekananda receives enlightenment. Swami Vivekananda spends a lot of time in the Kumaon region of the Himalayas and sets up Ashrams and spiritual centers there. The Vivekananda Trail in Kumaon is a path that he treads as a young monk in 1890. Kakrighat is the site where Vivekananda sets foot more than 100 years ago and is one of the most important places along the Vivekananda Trail in Kumaon. Within the grounds of Karkateshwar Mahadev Temple, there is a large Peepal tree with densely spread leaves. It is this spot where Vivekananda, in deep meditation after sanctifying himself with a bath in the Kosi River, revives enlightenment. The original tree under which Swami Vivekananda meditates has long since dried up. On July 15, 2016, one of the cloned saplings of the sacred tree (which the local people reverentially refer to as Vivekananda Jnana-vriksha) is planted at the very spot where the original tree stood.
