India is experiencing a rise in pilgrimage tourism to all of its holiest sites, including the Ram temple in Ayodhya, the Mahakaal temple in Ujjain, and the Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi.Over 60% of India's tourism business is derived from religious and spiritual tourism, which makes it a very appealing destination for tourists from all over the world.India's holy locations entice tourists who come on individual pilgrimages seeking deep religious experiences and spiritual comfort.Since its recent opening, the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya City, Uttar Pradesh, has drawn pilgrims from all over the world who come to honor and receive blessings at the hallowed site of Lord Ram's birth."Visiting Ayodhya is the crown jewel of visiting India, which is a trip unto itself. The city is developing quickly due to the influx of visitors, and it will soon become a popular pilgrimage tourism destination with first-rate infrastructure, according to My Tirth India founder and managing director Indraneel Dasgupta, who spoke with Sputnik."Spiritual and pilgrimage tourism is only going to increase with better infrastructure and easy accessibility, and one day it will overcome every other mode of tourism," Dasgupta stated.Religious Travel Boosts the Economy In addition to its obvious religious and spiritual significance, Dasgupta claims that encouraging pilgrimage tourism has various benefits.
These include increased job opportunities, business chances, and money production for the area as well as enhanced infrastructure and connection.Many tourists visit the temple in search of blessings, which makes it difficult to control the crowd and guarantee the guests' comfort and safety. Dasgupta emphasized that in order to handle the growing number of pilgrims while maintaining the purity and cultural relevance of the pilgrimage site, the temple administration and security forces must develop sustainable crowd management tactics and infrastructure."Spiritual tourism is the primary source of income for many religious sites located in cities such as Haridwar, Shirdi, Ujjain, Katra, Varanasi, and Vrindavan, and this industry is growing daily." Spiritual tourism will only grow and eventually surpass all other forms of travel, according to Dasgupta.
