Important holy sites of
Hinduism by Nikhil Gangoli
This article is about some
important holy sites of
Hinduism. These are some
of the Tirthas and Dhaams
- the most important holy

finder’s path and a
land of inherent spirituality.

reinforced by the many
overseas tourists to the
country who return with
memories of individual
sanctification and weary
souls rejuvenated after
having stepped on the
many legendary Indian
worship sites and
pilgrimage centers. How
the Celeb-factor has
turned around the fate
