The kind of cosmopolitan existence India has is best reflected in its pilgrim centres. Religion is the heartbeat of the nation and the followers of all
the major religious and sects, viz Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Jainism, Zororastrianism have lived here for centuries. Together has come up temples,
mosques, gurudwaras, churches, synagogues and religious and spiritual centres. Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism and countless minor cults and
religious sects were born in India. Their religious and spiritual centres dot the country as much as those of the faiths of Islam and Christianity which
came from outside. There is a very long list of temples, mosques and tombs, churches and gurudwaras spread all over the India. Infact, a vacation or
holiday can hardly be conceived without a sojourn of pilgrim centres of India. Moreover, there are festivals to celebrate everything under the sun,
from honouring sacred cows, arrival of monsoon, new harvest to personal wedding celebrations. All in all, travel and tourism in India go together
with pilgrim and other religious and spiritual centres. A visit to those places is more often than not, a great way to enjoy one's holiday/vacations.
C MORE invites you to the great spiritual experience that India is, and Welcome you and your loved ones to join, regalement and enjoy
