Pilgrimage essentially is a spiritual journey where a person goes in search of a new or expanded meaning - about self, others, natural or higher good.
In India, the concept of unity is a religious one. Sopilgrimage (or yatra) is “about sociology as well as about religion. It is an endurance event,and alsoa spiritual practice”. Long back when the means of communication and transport were rather poor, people walked hundreds of miles bearing the harshest of conditions to seek divine blessings.
Over time it has become a duty that is passed on to every generation. Alongside with overgrowing population, a lot of people go to pilgrimage at once to practice their religion. It has now become a celebration of faith, which unites people from different cultures. A sense of belonging improves and encourages the pilgrim’s willingness to learn, grow and socialize.
