Travellers around the world, when in search of spirituality and peace of mind and soul, just think about India. With people of different religions and faiths residing in the country, it is but obvious that religious fervour dominates the country. And when it comes to religious tour, there is yet again, no other place better than India.

India religious places can be categorised as per religion of region. But wherever you go, you are sure to find a place where you can sit, relax and connect with your inner self and the lord. Here in this post let's brief you about some of these significant destinations.

Starting from north, the shrine of Vaishno Devi and Amarnath comes foremost to our mind. Every year a number of pilgrims make a beeline to visit these shrines. The journey is tough, with large hilly areas to be covered on foot and weather conditions not exactly suitable for a difficult journey. Yet the devotion of the pilgrims takes them through all the difficulties and they successfully worship their gods.

The Chardhams in the Hindu religion is equally important. These Chardhams or the four holy places in Hindu religion include Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri. Pilgrimage Yatras to these holy places are considered extremely sacred.

For the Sikhs, there is perhaps no other place as holy as the Harmindar Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple. It is the symbol of the might of the Sikhs around the world.


A considerable part of the north east region of India is home to the Buddhist community and hence there are a number of Buddhist monasteries there. Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim house a number of monasteries like Enchey Monastery, Pemayangtse Monastery, Phensang Monastery, Bomdila Monastery, Nunneries of Tawang and Tawang Monastery. These are good places to visit if anyone wants to know more about the Buddhist culture.


Moving towards the north west and west India, we find two of the most important pilgrimage destinations in India. Ajmer Sharif in Rajasthan and Mumbai Haji Ali Dargah are two significant pilgrimage sites in India where travellers can sit in peace and connect with the supreme god.


Goa is home to a number of churches that are of paramount importance in Christian religion. The churches of Old Goa were built by the Portuguese during their reign in the region. Today, these churches are not just religious places but also heritage sites that have secured themselves a place in UNESCO World Heritage Site list.


The South India is the region where you can find a number of temples. Tamil Nadu is home to numerous temples that have, over the years, become not only important spiritual destinations
but also major tourists' attractions. Travel agents design special tour packages that take travellers on a trip around the important temples of south India. Some of the famous temples include Rameshwaram Temple, Chidambaram Temple, Kanyakumari Temple, Tirupati Balaji Temple, Mahabalipuram Temple, Kanchipuram, Thanjavur, Madurai Meenakshi temple, Sabarimala Temple and Guruvayoor Temple.
