The
Hindu religious life is inextricably linked to India's terrain, which is dotted
with hallowed locations known as tirthas.
These may be lakes, rivers, mountains, or any other natural
feature; cities, temples, or any other man-made setting; or even the presence
of holy men and women.
Pilgrimage (tirthayatra) to any holy spot is a way to
improve spiritually and religiously.
