बोधगया
Bodh Gaya is the holiest site in Buddhism — the place where Siddhartha Gautama sat beneath the Bodhi tree and became the Buddha, the Awakened One, some 2,500 years ago. Pilgrims from across the Buddhist world still gather at its Mahabodhi Temple.
Golden Temple
स्वर्ण मंदिर
The Harmandir Sahib — the Golden Temple — glows over the Amrit Sarovar, the 'pool of nectar' that gives Amritsar its name. It is the holiest shrine of Sikhism, a sanctuary open to every person on Earth, where the largest free kitchen in the world feeds a hundred thousand visitors a day.
Meenakshi Temple
मीनाक्षी मंदिर
The Meenakshi Temple is a city within a city — fourteen towering gopurams painted in every colour, a thousand-pillared hall of carved stories, and one of the most beloved temples of South Bhārat, where the goddess Meenakshi reigns as queen.
Rishikesh
ऋषिकेश
Rishikesh is where the Ganga bursts out of the Himalaya onto the plains — and where the world comes to learn yoga. Home to hundreds of ashrams and yoga schools, it became the Yoga Capital of the World after the Beatles stayed here in 1968.
Varanasi
वाराणसी
Varanasi — Kashi, the City of Light — has been lived in for over three thousand years without a break, making it one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities. Its eighty ghats step down to the Ganga, where dawn aarti, evening lamps, and the endless prayer of pilgrims have played out for millennia.
One land. Endless wonders.
