At Hemkund Dham, there is a deposition of 10 feet deep snow, which may pose a problem for the devotees to reach the worship place in the future, if the conditions do not improve.

At present, the manager along with a few helpers are maintaining the gurudwara amid the lockdown.

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.
