Pilgrimage

 
"India - a land of Spiritualism - a land where pilgrimages are a part of life."
 

The increasing stress in life has made more and more people turning to spirituality for peace of mind. No less than 7 - 8 religions are followed by various sects and each have their own rituals and pilgrimage sites. The majority of the people follow Hinduism.

 
Taken in search of salvation, pilgrimages play an important role in all religions. With an increase in the number of pilgrims, pilgrimage sites are now better connected and easily accessible. For many, going on a pilgrimage involves fasting, taking preliminary vows, traveling on foot through out the route to the accompaniment of devotional songs.
 

There are a number of pilgrimage sites littered throughout India. Pilgrimages usually leave you with peace of mind and are believed to cleanse your soul.
