Pilgrimage or Tirthatan is the
oldest way of traveling from one place to other in India. From
the first instance of civilization to the present day, millions
of Hindus leave their home in search of
salvation. The
destination could be any place with a legend attached. From the high hills of Himalayas to small islands in Arabian Sea and Bay
of Bengal and from the fertile plains of Northern India to the
Southern Peninsula, Hindu pilgrimage centers are in thousands
and multiplying.
Tourism in India dates back to
ancient times. Travel for the purposes of learning, pilgrimage
and trade have always been an integral part of the social fabric
of this vast subcontinent. Carrying on this long tradition,
pilgrim tourism in the country today has attained unprecedented
levels…
Today, pilgrim tourism forms an important segment of domestic
tourism. India as a confluence of different religions has always
attracted pilgrims from all over the world. India is home to
many religions like Hinduism, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism,
Jainism, and Islam and all of them have their important places
of worship.
