Pilgrimage in Uttar Pradesh

Prayag Ghat-Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh

Uttar Pradesh, the land of spirituality and divinity has been the destination of salvation seekers for many centuries. An ultimate destination for the pilgrims, Uttar Pradesh houses a number of holy places where your divinity attains a new height. You may come across with some purity of your senses, which even you were unaware of till now. The land that nestles on the bank of sacred river Ganges and also enjoying the divine foot hills of the Himalayas, Uttar Pradesh beckons you for an unforgettable religious tour.

This is the land where the great legends of Lord Krishna were staged and this the place as well from where Lord Rama was sent for an exile of 14 years. The five elements that form the divine land of Uttar Pradesh are all blessed with the godliness and divinity of Lord Rama and Lord Krishna. As you visit Mathura and Vrindavan, the legend of Lord Krishna captivates you with all its hue and spirit. Ayodhya is the place which is still soaked in the essence of Lord Rama and you never know when you become a devotee of Him.

As we peep in the Hindu mythology, one legend that still fascinates the entire world is the Kumbha Mela. This greatest religious gathering in the world is played in the holy city Allahabad on the banks of river Ganges, Yamuna and Saraswati. But, the reverence of Uttar Pradesh is never complete until we mention Varanasi, one of the most ancient cities of the world, which still holds the divine legend of Lord Shiva.

One more fascinating dimension of Uttar Pradesh is the sanctity of Lord Buddha that has soaked the land into an eternity of sacred Buddhist philosophy. Following the foot prints of Lord Buddha you may visit the places that include Sarnath, Kapilavastu, Sravasti and Kushinagar.
