Pilgrimage

Uttarakhand is known as the “abode of gods” due to the several old temples located here. Every stream, rock, and mountain in Uttarakhand has a connection to India’s mythological past.

Uttarakhand is not just a Hindu pilgrimage destination. In keeping with the liberal traditions of our nation, there are several significant sites associated with other religions as well, These include the Mind Rolling Monastery and Buddha Stupa in Dehradun, Piran Kaliyar Sharif near Roorkee, Hemkund Sahib, Nanak Matta Sahib, Ritha Metha Sahib, and Nanak Matta Sahib.

Important Pilgrimage

There are a few notable holy sites for followers of other religions, despite the impression that Uttarakhand has more temples than any other place of worship. Hindus regard Char Dham, Kumbh Mela, Raj Jat Yatra, Panch Badri, Panch Kedar, and Panch Prayag as their most important annual pilgrimage events. Hemkund Sahib, the world’s highest Gurudwara, is available to Sikh devotees in Uttarakhand. Other well-known Gurudwaras are Nanakmatta and Ritha Sahib. There are several mosques for Muslims to visit, but Piran Kaliyar Shareef near Roorkee is said to be a well-known one. The Mind Rolling Monastery, in Dehradun, is the principal destination for pilgrims who practice Buddhism.
