India- Pilgrimage
Since time immemorial, India has been known for its religion, religious tolerance and its worldly character. India is called the "yogabhoomi" and the entry to the heavens. Innumerable saints and seers, in their quest for knowledge, have contributed mainly to the growth of various religious monuments viz. Temples, Mosques, Monasteries etc. built generously across the length and breadth of the country. For this very reason, India is also known as the temple of country. The architectural enthusiasm is expressed in its places of worship, which form an essential part of its cultural diversity. |
It has been a custom in India to honor all the deities, gods and goddesses by building shrines, which is obvious in the various temples. In the olden times, kings of various dynasties used to worship a exacting deity, and thus it was a common do to build huge temples, which are in themselves, architectural marvels. India is well known for its places of worship. The cosmopolitan flavor of its religions is well reflected in its huge number of holy shrines. Apart from the pilgrim centers that India is known for, a large number of places of worship are known among devotees for everlasting powers and wish fulfillment.
