Holy pilgrimage to go from Gujarat
India, a country which people say only breathes spirituality and also attracts millions to come to this God’s own country. Every part of India has a unique spiritual history and different gods that people worship earnestly. Kolkata is famous for celebrating Durga Pooja, Maharashtra pays respect to Lord Ganesh every year, Kerala worships the holy idol of Lord Vishnu, Himachal believes in the righteousness of Lord Buddha. So, every state of India pays homage to their own god, and very often, people cross borders to witness the warmth of their much-revered God residing in the other city of India.
Gujarat is one such state of India which worships both Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva. The state has one of the 12 Jyotirlinga temples where people come from different parts of the country to worship Lord Shiva. And according to Hindu Mythology, Lord Krishna built the city of Dwarka in Gujarat for his people and the city is still breathing air freely. So, below is the list of five holy pilgrimages to visit from Gujarat.
Char Dham Pilgrimage Tour
Char Dham Yatra is a journey that takes you through the four temple sites sprawled all over India. Starting the journey from Badrinath, you move next to Dwarka which is in Gujarat so if you are in Gujarat then, you can start this auspicious journey from here itself. The journey follows its footsteps to the third Dham – Puri and finally, you pay the last visit at Rameswaram. Many believe that this journey has the capability to purify any soul and further, directs you towards the path of salvation.
