Buddhist Pilgrimage Tours in India

The personality and teachings of the Buddha illuminated the lives and thoughts of millions in Asia it was in India that the light, was first kindled. The Buddha was born in India. And he lived and died there. His teachings, were imparted in the context of his Indian heitage. A thousand years after his death, he was accepted as an incarnation of Visnu, one of the three highest gods in the Hindu pantheon. Buddhism remained an Indian religion for many centuries before it became a pan-Asian one.

Jain Pilgrimage Tours in India

About the same time as the Buddha was preaching his dharma, and in the same region, another religious tradition was being established. Vardhamana, better known by his title Mahavira (Great Hero) was an elder contemporary of the Buddha. The two teachers had much in common: both were Kshatriyas of royal descent but renounced the worldly life; both rejected caste bathers and questioned the sacredness of the Vedas. Mahavira's fame has been eclipsed by the Buddha's; Jainism, the religion preached by Mahavira, counts more than 3 million adherents in India today, whereas the Buddha's faith has almost twice as many.

The theme of self-conquest, common to many religions, is supremely important to the Jains. The very word Jain is derived from jina (conqueror). Carrying the idea of self-conquest to its extreme, Jainism has become the world's most rigorously ascetic faith. God has little or no place in this system. The popular gods of Hinduism are accepted, but they at placed lower than the jinas, who are regarded as the true focus of deviton.

Mahavira, through usually accepted as the balmier of the faith in the contest of history. is said to be the last of a line of 24 jinas. All of them are said to have attained perfect wisdom (Kaivalya), through different penances, to vanquish desire and break their bomb with the material world. The jinas are also known as Tirthankaras (crossing-makers). The crossing refers to the passage from the material to the spiritual realm, from bondage to freedom.

Islamic Pilgrimage Places

Arab traders came to India as early as the 7th century. After that, Muslim invaders made sporadic raids into India from time to time until, at the end of the 12th century. The first Muslim kingdom was established at Delhi. The Muslims gradually extended their rule eastwards and southwards. The Mughal Empire was founded by Babur in 1506. One of the greatest Mughal emperors was Akbar (1556-1605), whose policy of religious tolerance bought Hindus and Muslims together.

In its first phase, Islamic rule in India was aggressive. But the mystics of Islam, known as Sufis, played an important part in spreading the message of universal love. This message was conveyed most effectively by the classical Persian poets, particularly by Rumi, who expressed the spirit of Sufism through beautiful symbols and images. Persian, not Arabic, was the court language during Muslim rule.

• Dargah of Khwaja Moin-ud-din Chishti, Ajmer
• Haji Ali Dargah, Mumbai
• Dargah Hazrat Nizamuddin, Delhi
• Piran Kaliyar Sharif, Haridwar

Sikh Pilgrimage Places in India

This process of bringing Hinduism and Islam close to each other was continued by Kabir and Nanak. Born into a Brahman family, Kabir was brought up by Muslim foster-parents. He was a disciple of Ramananda, a famous Hindu saint, but he was also deeply influenced by Sufism and used Sufi terminology in many of his poems. Inspired by Kabir, Guru Nanak (1469-1539) founded the Sikh religion with the avowed purpose of synthesizing Hinduism and Islam. Islam's spirit of brotherhood helped in loosening the rigidity of the caste system.

Nanak came from the Punjab, a region where Hindus and Muslims had come in closer con tact than in any other pan of India. A Hindu by birth and training, Nanak was attracted from his childhood towards Hindu as well as Muslim saints and poets. He visited the sacred places of Hinduism and also made the pilgrimage to makka. He saw the essential teaching of both religions as being the same. Nanak began to preach his message of unity. He attracted many followers and soon came together, and a new religious tradition was born. The term Sikh is derived from the Sanskrit shishya (disciple).

Angad, who succeeded Nanak as the Guru of the Sikhs, started compiling the master's writings. He also introduced a script that was already being used by some Punjabis. He called it Gurmukhi and made it the official script of the Sikhs. Guru Arjun, the fifth in succession, started building the temple at Amritsar that later became the holiest of Sikh shrines. Arjun also systematised the collection of sacred hymns and poems by Nanak, Kabir and other saints. This collection became the holy scripture of the Sikhs. It is known as Adi Granth (The First Book), or Granth Sahib (Book of the Lord).

Christians and Jews in India

According to a strong tradition prevalent in the South, Christianity in India is as old as Saint Thomas, one of the apostles of Jesus Christ. The saint is said to have spent a few years near Chennai and to have died there. Other legends describe Saint Bartholomew as the first Christian missionary in India. Latin historians in the Middle Ages made frequent references to Christian settlements in India. However, Christian missionary activity from the West began with the arrival of Saint Francis Xavier in 1542.

His tomb in Goa is still visited by thousands of Catholics every year.

Saint Francis Xavier was succeeded by Portuguese missionaries. Some of them visited Akbar's court, and even entertained the hope of converting the emperor. Other Catholic countries soon began to send missionaries to India. In the 18th century, Protestant missionaries, especially from Denmark, Holland and Germany, started their work in India.

The British conquest naturally gave the Anglican Church an advantage over others. William Carey and Alexander Duff played key roles in establishing Christianity. Carey founded the Seminary at Serampore. Alexander Duff came to India in 1830 and continued Carey's work. Throughout the 19th century, Catholic as well as Protestant missionaries, besides preaching Christian doctrines, made contributions to education and scholarship.

Indian Christians, who number nearly 25 million, represent almost every denomination: (Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Maronite, Seventh - day Adventist, and others.

India has two ancient indigenous Jewish communities: the Malayalam-speaking Cochinis and the Marathi-speaking Bene Israel (children of Israel). Today, migration to Israel, England, the United States and Canada, has reduced the Indian Jewish population to 5,000.

What Our Customers Says

Deep pandit (writer).

Pilgrimage Tour

“We were blessed to visit Mathura in over 12 years. We make sure that this was a trip to be remembered for years. And we started our journey with Bakhe Bihari temple and visited every temple of Lord Krishna. We liked to enlighten that how the team at the hotel and drivers of Swastik Holiday has helped us throughout our stay. We loved the culture and delicious vegetarian food. If you haven’t visited Mathura if you are a Krishna devotee then let us tell you should at least once in your life. Hare Krishna”

Parkesh Yadav (Teacher)

Pilgrimage Trip

“Me and My life always wanted to visit Mata Vaishno Devi since we get married. So, we decided to book a package of 4 days and 5 nights, at Swastik Holiday and when we arrived in Jammu our driver dropped us at the hotel, and then all the hotel staff took care of us very well. And we started our Yatra in the evening after taking few hours of sleep, since we were tired. And the next day we reached Bhavan and took the darshan of Mata rani Ji. It was a good memorable short trip to Mata Vaishno Devi. We will plan another trip soon.”

Amit Kumar (Teacher)

Pilgrimage Travel

“What can say about Kashmir and its beauty? It is something that cannot be expressed in words but I will do my best. We wanted to visit our friends and Dargah Sharif. And we enjoyed all the inclusions of the pilgrimage tour packages put forward by Swastik Holiday where we visited the mosque as we need to a flight in 3 days back to home. But if you are someone who is religious and want to explore Kashmir then you must visit mosques as you find peace there.”

More than 1,300 people died during Hajj, many of them after walking in the scorching heat

CAIRO — More than 1,300 people died during  this year’s Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia  as the faithful faced extreme high temperatures at Islamic holy sites in the desert kingdom, Saudi authorities announced Sunday.

Saudi Health Minister Fahd bin Abdurrahman Al-Jalajel said that 83% of the 1,301 fatalities were unauthorized pilgrims who walked long distances in soaring temperatures to perform the Hajj rituals in and around the holy city of  Mecca .

Speaking with the state-owned Al Ekhbariya TV, the minister said 95 pilgrims were being treated in hospitals, some of whom were airlifted for treatment in the capital, Riyadh. He said the identification process was delayed because there were no identification documents with many of the dead pilgrims.

He said the dead were buried in Mecca, without giving a breakdown.

Egypt has revoked the licenses of 16 travel agencies that helped unauthorized pilgrims travel to Saudi Arabia, authorities said.

Saudi authorities cracked down on unauthorized pilgrims, expelling tens of thousands of people. But many, mostly Egyptians, managed to reach holy sites in and around Mecca, some on foot. Unlike authorized pilgrims, they had no hotels to return to to escape the scorching heat.

In a statement Saturday, Egypt’s government said the 16 travel agencies failed to provide adequate services for pilgrims. It said these agencies illegally facilitated the travel of pilgrims to Saudi Arabia using visas that don’t allow holders to travel to Mecca.

The government also said officials from the companies have been referred to the public prosecutor for investigation.

According to the state-owned Al-Ahram daily, some travel agencies and Hajj trip operators sold Saudi tourist visas to Egyptian Hajj hopefuls, violating Saudi regulations which require exclusive visas for pilgrims. Those agencies left pilgrims in limbo in Mecca and the holy sites in scorching heat, the newspaper said.

The fatalities also included 165 pilgrims from Indonesia, 98 from India and dozens more from Jordan, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and Malaysia, according to an Associated Press tally. Two U.S. citizens were also reported dead.

The AP could not independently confirm the causes of death, but some countries like Jordan and Tunisia blamed the soaring heat. AP journalists saw pilgrims fainting from the scorching heat, especially on the second and third days of the Hajj. Some vomited and collapsed.

Historically, deaths are not uncommon at the Hajj, which has seen at times over 2 million people travel to Saudi Arabia for a five-day pilgrimage. The pilgrimage’s history has also seen deadly stampedes and epidemics.

But this year’s tally was unusually high, suggesting exceptional circumstances.

In 2015 a stampede in Mina killed over 2,400 pilgrims , the deadliest incident ever to strike the pilgrimage, according to an AP count. Saudi Arabia has never acknowledged the full toll of the stampede.  A separate crane collapse at Mecca’s Grand Mosque  earlier the same year killed 111.

The second-deadliest incident at the Hajj was a 1990 stampede that killed 1,426 people.

During this year’s Hajj period, daily high temperatures ranged between 117 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit (46 to 49 degrees Celsius) in Mecca and sacred sites in and around the city, according to the Saudi National Center for Meteorology. Some people fainted while trying to perform the  symbolic stoning of the devil .

The Hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam, is one of the world’s largest religious gatherings. More than 1.83 million Muslims performed the Hajj in 2024, including more than 1.6 million from 22 countries, and around 222,000 Saudi citizens and residents, according to the Saudi Hajj authorities.

Saudi Arabia has spent billions of dollars on crowd control and safety measures for those attending the annual five-day pilgrimage, but the sheer number of participants makes it difficult to ensure their safety.

Climate change could make the risk even greater. A 2019 study by experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that even if the world succeeds in mitigating the worst effects of climate change, the Hajj would be held in temperatures exceeding an “extreme danger threshold” from 2047 to 2052, and from 2079 to 2086.

Islam follows a lunar calendar, so the Hajj comes around 11 days earlier each year. By 2029, the Hajj will occur in April, and for several years after that it will fall in the winter, when temperatures are milder.

Riyadh [Saudi Arabia], June 24 (ANI): Saudi Arabia said on Sunday that as many as 1,301 people died during the Hajj pilgrimage, with “numerous cases” due to heat stress and “unauthorized” trips accounting for over four out of five of the deaths, CNN reported.

In a statement, the Saudi government said, “The health system addressed numerous cases of heat stress this year, with some individuals still under care. Regrettably, the number of mortalities reached 1,301.”

The statement noted that 83 per cent of those who died were “unauthorised to perform Hajj” and “walked long distances under direct sunlight, without adequate shelter or comfort.” It said that the deceased people included “several elderly and chronically ill individuals,” adding that the families of all the dead had now been identified, according to CNN report.

Extreme heat has been named as the main reason behind hundreds of deaths and injuries reported during this year’s Hajj pilgrimage. The temperature in Mecca rose to a record-setting 125 degrees Fahrenheit on Monday. Various authorities have stated that the problems have been enhanced by the number of unofficial pilgrimages.

Saudi Arabia requires each pilgrim to acquire one of the 1.8 million available licences to legally access Mecca, the holy city that is central for Hajj pilgrims. These licenses can cost a pilgrim several thousand US dollars. Usually, the unlicensed pilgrims don’t travel in organised tour buses with air conditioning or easy access to water and food supplies.

The Saudi government seemed to suggest the unauthorised nature of many of the trips as the reason for taking so long to issue an official death toll, as this had complicated the process of identification.

The statement reads, “Identification completed, despite the initial lack of personal information or identification documents. Proper processes were followed for identification, burial, and honoring the deceased, with death certificates provided.”

Some pilgrims have criticised the poor infrastructure and organisation of this year’s Hajj pilgrimage. Pilgrims who were on official tours also spent the bulk of their day walking outdoors in the scorching heat. Speaking to CNN, some witnesses said they saw worshippers losing consciousness and walking past bodies covered in white cloth.

Saudi Arabia’s announcement comes as the Egyptian government pledged to revoke the licenses of 16 Hajj tourism firms involved in making illegal pilgrimages to Mecca and refer the company’s managers to the public prosecutor amid fears hundreds of Egyptians are among the deceased people.

The Egyptian government made the decision in a cabinet meeting on Saturday after a report highlighted the dubious nature of how some tourism firms operate.

The report reviewed by the cabinet said some operators had not issued correct visas, so holders could not enter Mecca and were rather forced to enter “through desert paths on foot.” It also accused some firms of not being able to provide proper accommodation for staying, leaving people exposed to the heat, CNN reported.

During the meeting, Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly offered his “sincere condolences and sympathy” to the families of the deceased pilgrims and pledged to provide them with the necessary support.

Notably, Hajj permits are given to nations based on a quota system and Saudi Arabia requires each pilgrim to acquire one of the 1.8 million available licences to legally access Mecca.

Since the cost of one of these licences costs several thousand US dollars, many pilgrims attempt to access the site illegally and they usually don’t travel in organised tour buses with air conditioning or easy access to water and food supplies, CNN report.

Notably, the timing of the Hajj pilgrimage is based on the Islamic lunar calendar which in 2024 has fallen during scorching temperatures in Saudi Arabia. Pilgrims made the journey in extreme temperatures of up to 49 degrees Celsius.

During the Hajj pilgrimage, the faithful perform various rituals in and around Mecca, which often involve many hours of walking in the scorching heat every day.

The total number of deaths in this year’s Hajj could still rise, as governments only know about pilgrims who have registered and visited Mecca as part of their nation’s quota. (ANI)

India pilgrimage tourism information travel guide.

Isn't life actually this way? In the process of learning about themselves and their Creator along with the purpose they are meant to serve with their life, people learn about vice and virtue. However, even after receiving spiritual education since the day of their conception, they fall into the rut of committing mistakes and sins, which later leads to performing penance as they prefer. Taking a sacred journey—a pilgrimage tour is only one of the many, yet the most preferred way of redemption, especially when it is India that a pilgrim is wandering to. The land of versatility - India is second to none, especially when it becomes an object of study, analysis, and attention, all because of the different religions to which it serves as an amalgamating pot. Every religion has its significance and a proposed way of life to live it as ideally as possible. It is possible to get a glimpse of each of them and revel in the rich knowledge, the way followers of different faiths try to connect with their Creator at various pilgrimage sites in India.

Muslims can spread their praying carpets, close their eyes chanting hymns from the Quran with palms spread in worship of Allah Almighty in any of the great mosques found in different corners of the country. Hindus can embark on an arduous journey to holy places like Vaishno Devi, Amarnath, and Chardham, or they can join their hands in devotion and perform various rituals during their visit to temples where God is believed to have manifested Himself in different forms and incarnations like Jyotirlingas, Saktipeeths, etc. Sikhs can choose among the different Gurudwaras set up by their Gurus, beginning with Guru Nanak, just as the Christians can find a Church that serves their spiritual and religious needs. Jain Tirthankars, on the other hand, have left enough worshiping sanctities where peace is sought after by followers of Jainism, like the monasteries, gompas, and stupas that stand proud to guide those who seek to be guided by the preaching and teachings of Buddhism. Pilgrimage holidays proffer the piece of life that seems lost in materialism sometimes, with entertainment as well along with enlightenment as a part of holy festivals/processions one participates in.

The mind can still search for answers to questions that most of them dread to ask for the fear of being lost in the lack of wisdom beyond religious constraints. The answer comes in the form of Sufi sites of worship, Baha'i way of thinking, Spiritual Ashrams, places like Shirdi and Puttaparthi, etc., that might give just the peace you longed for. Nothing happens without cause, and a pilgrimage tour in India only strengthens faith in life, humanity, and God. Take one today to acknowledge the fact yourself!

Hindu Pilgrimage

With more than half of the country's population following Hinduism, India finds itself in abundance with Hindu pilgrimage destinations. The land of Lord Rama, Lord Shiva, and Lord Vishnu, among many other gods of Hinduism, the country has numerous temples and places of worship dedicated to them. Finding mentions in the holy scripts of Mahabharata, Ramayana, and the vedas, pilgrimage destinations in India attract a number of devotees over the year for their religious and spiritual significance. As a result, there are many religious circuits that are formed to aid devotees in their religious tourism.

Buddhist Pilgrimage

Originated over 2,500 years among the Indian subcontinent, Buddhism now stands as one of the major religions of the world. When it comes to it, India has been at the center of cultivation and spread of the religion. It was in India, that the Buddha attained enlightenment, gave his first sermon, lived as a monk spreading his teachings, and later attained mahaparinirvana and passed away, leaving the earthly abode. These places, therefore, are considered very holy and in high reverence by the Buddhists who include this on a Buddhist pilgrimage tour to the country, and also form part of the popular attractions of the Buddhist circuit. Important destinations that are covered as part of Buddhist tourism include Bodh Gaya, Sarnath, Shravasti, Kushinagar, among many others. Apart from these, India is also home to other sites of importance that include monasteries such as Namgyal, Tawang, and Hemis monasteries, and historic, excavated sites of Nalanda, Sankisa, Sanchi Stupa, and the Diamond Triangle of Odisha. These pilgrimage destinations belonging to Buddhism not only are important from a religious point of view, but are also important milestones that help us better understand history. A pioneer of Buddhism that gave way to understanding the world in a different light, the Buddha made it his mission to lessen the pain caused by the sufferings of the world.

Jain Pilgrimage

Based on the principles of nonviolence, Jainism is another religion that finds its roots in India. Established by Rishabdeva,the first Tirthankara, or Jain spiritual leader, the religion was then followed and carried forward with 23 other Tirthankara, with the 24th one being Vardhman Mahavira who is credited with re-establishing the religion and providing the foundation for the modern day practice of Jainism. In India, there are many religious destinations that can be visited as part of a Jain Pilgrimage Tour that covers some significant and popular pilgrimage destinations spanning across the country. Some of these places include, Ranakpur Jain Temple, and Dilwara Temple in Rajasthan, Gomateshwara Temple in Karnataka, and the Shri Digambar Jain Lal Mandir in Delhi, and the Palitana Temple in Gujarat. Practicing values of nonviolence and kindness to all living beings, influence of Jainism can be seen in India’s culture and ways of life as well. These Jain temples not only create an aura of devotion and spirituality but are also some of the country’s most beautiful holy places to visit, especially notable among them is the Gomateshwara Statue in Karnataka, which is known for being 18 meter in height and is made out of a single piece of rock, attracting devotees and tourists alike.

Sikh Pilgrimage

Sikhism, as a religion, was founded in the 15th century by their spiritual guru, Guru Nanak who established the religion to spread a message of love and equality among all humans, regardless of any and all differences, and called for the worship of the one true God. After Guru Nanak, Sikhism had been carried forward by nine other gurus, who dedicated their life in spreading the message of Guru Nanak. Sikh Pilgrimage Tourism includes the various Gurdwaras or Sikh places of worship that are spread across the country. These gurdwaras are known for being welcoming to everyone and serve as a place of comfort and refuge. Some of the popular religious destinations to visit on a Sikh pilgrimage tour include the Shri Harmandir Sahib or the Golden Temple, Anandpur Sahib, Gurudwara Shri Bangla Sahib, and the Takhat Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib. Out of these, the Golden Temple (Shri Harmandir Sahib) is the gurdwara that is the most prominent one and attracts thousands of people every year, from all walks of life. Practice of Sikhism mainly focuses on making sure everyone gets treated equally no matter what, setting the foundation of the religion, which are followed by Sikhs in their daily lives and in their places of worship.

Christian Pilgrimage

Unlike the religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, Christianity is one religion that has been brought to India from across the world. It was during multiple phases that the religion was introduced to the country, which now finds itself to be one of the six religions to be followed in India. Christian Pilgrimage Tour in the country involves visiting the important churches and chapels that are significant markers for the followers of Christianity. Some of the best places to visit for a Christian Pilgrimage Tour include the Basilica of Bom Jesus in Goa, Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health in Tamil Nadu, Santhome Cathedral Basilica in Tamil Nadu, and the Christ Church in Shimla. Many of these pilgrimage destinations are important places of worship and are known for storing the relics and remains of prominent saints and disciples of Jesus Christ, one whom after the religion is based. Basilica of Bom Jesus in Goa, for example, is known for keeping the remains of St. Francis Xavier, a christian missionary and saint, who is considered to be extremely blessed. Since a lot of these churches were made during the period of colonization, glimpses of contemporary architecture from their home countries can be seen and make for a beautiful sight.

Muslim Pilgrimage

Islam is another abrahamic religion that finds its followers in India. Even though India sees a majority following Hinduism, Islam still has a good number of devotees with it being the second most followed religion in the country. Pilgrimage, for muslims are an important affair, given the pilgrimage site of Hajj in Saudi Arabia that is considered a principal pilgrimage to be undertaken by the followers. In India too there are a number of mosques and places of worship that have existed for centuries now, and are often some of the popular places to visit even for regular tourists. Popular muslim religious destinations in India include the Jama Masjid in Delhi, Haji Ali Dargah in Maharashtra, Ajmer Sharif Dargah in Rajasthan, and the Nizamuddin Dargah Sharif in Delhi. Being a foreign religion that has stayed in the country for over centuries, glimpses of it can be seen in India's food, language, clothing, and different aspects of its culture. These pilgrimage sites form an essential part of India's history, due to the majority being made by rulers who once ruled its land, giving us an account into the past as well.

Jewish Pilgrimage

Another one of the abrahamic religions that have found its way to India is Judaism. Judaism is a religion that believes in the one true God and is followed by the Jewish people, a population that has accumulated in India over many centuries.
