India’s secularism and the variety of religions followed by the people is astounding, therefore the country is dotted with number of extremely popular pilgrimage places. Great religions like Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism have originated on the Indian soil, making unity in diversity, the keyword for the grand country. The Hindus flock to take a dip in the holy rivers, even if the temperature is at the freezing point, the Sikhs walk up to a height of 4329 meters through the difficult terrain to reach the Hemkund Sahib, devotees from all over the world throng over the holy city of Sarnath, the cradle of Buddhism. The list is endless so as the queue for visiting the holy sites such as Vaishno Devi, Tirupati Balaji – the world’s richest temple, or the churches of Goa, Mahaballipuram or Rameswaram, or the Ajmer Sharif.
