tirtha-yatra
Tirtha-yatra is a pilgrimage in Hinduism where devotees travel to sacred places, known as tirthas. These sites are often associated with significant events in Hindu mythology or are believed to have spiritual power, providing a path for spiritual growth and purification.
During a tirtha-yatra, pilgrims may visit temples, rivers, and mountains that hold religious importance. The journey is seen as a way to seek blessings, perform rituals, and connect with the divine. Popular destinations for tirtha-yatra include Varanasi, Haridwar, and the Char Dham sites in the Himalayas.
