"India - a land of Spiritualism - a land where pilgrimages are a part of life."
 
With the increasing stress in life more and more people are turning to spirituality for peace of mind. And what better place than turn to India, which is simply teeming with religions and spiritualism. More and more foreigners are turning towards the spiritual heritage India offers and getting what they had been searching and longing for long – Peace of Mind. India is a country where no less than 7- 8 religions are followed with great dedication and with next to no antagonism. Each religion has its own rituals and pilgrimage sites. In every part of India, the spiritualistic aspect reflects in the way of life.
 
The majority of the people in India follow Hinduism – a religion as old as 3,000 years old. The other main religions followed were Sikhism, Islam and Christianity. There are many other minor religions followed in India with all of them having their own rituals and beliefs. All these combine to make India the most spiritualistic country ever with the highest number of religions being followed in one single country. 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.
 
There is a number of pilgrimage sites littered throughout India. Pilgrimages usually leave you with peace of mind and are believed to cleanse your soul. For many, going on a pilgrimage involves fasting, taking preliminary vows, traveling on foot through out the route to the accompaniment of devotional songs.
