Parikrama
Parikrama is a spiritual practice in Hinduism and Buddhism that involves circumambulating a sacred site or object. This ritual is often performed as a form of devotion, allowing worshippers to express their reverence and seek blessings. Common places for Parikrama include temples, shrines, and holy mountains, where devotees walk around the site in a clockwise direction.
The act of Parikrama symbolizes the journey of life and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. It is believed to purify the mind and body, fostering a deeper connection with the divine. Many pilgrims undertake Parikrama as part of their religious observances, often accompanied by chanting or meditation.
