Comparitive study of pilgrimages of Delhi & Sikkim.

pilgrimage in Delhi. Delhi is a city of many shades, from the bustling modern city life to quaint pilgrimage, from modern skyscrapers to cultural heritage. Delhi is one of the best cities in India for a spiritual odyssey, with the religious pilgrimage of all major religions being the highlight of the city. Delhi isn't new to welcoming religious tourists, looking to delve into spirituality and religious sanctity of the city. Every year thousands of tourists from all across the country and the globe visit the beautiful city to experience the bliss that this city is. From Gurudwara , temple, masjid to spiritual pilgrimage spot of every major religion, Delhi has it all..

Hindu Pilgrimage. Delhi has numerous famous Hindu pilgrimage sites, ranging from the famous Iskcon temple, Akshardham temple to the popular Hanuman Mandir . Delhi, known for its diversity, today serves as the epicentre of many religions. Hindu temples are a common site in the city, with thousands of devotees practising their faiths in these temples. The other assorted temples are Shiva Temples, Lord Hanuman Temples, Krishna Temples, Durga Temples, and Vishnu Temples, offer the devotees a chance to seek blessings and get their wish fulfilled.

Muslim Pilgrimage. Delhi has been home to a number of Muslim dynasties and that of Sufi saints who sanctified it with their presence. Therefore, it is not a surprise to see a plethora of mosques dotting the length and breadth of the city. Like the Hindu temples, Muslim pilgrimage sites can be found in abundance in Delhi, however, there are few shrines that have particularly been attracting a large number of devotees . The iconic Jama Masjid is the obvious first choice for anyone seeking to visit a Muslim pilgrimage site in Delhi followed by the sacred tomb of Nizamuddin Auliya . It is such a divine occurring that in the Nizamuddin area, people do not get lost but find the most anticipated peace of mind. The dargah is, in fact, one of the most-visited destinations in Delhi not only by the Muslim pilgrim but by tourists of all faiths..

pilgrimage in sikkim. Although Sikkim is a Buddhist destination that is dotted with a large number of monastries , there exists a fair proportion of temples, churches and even Gurudwaras , indicating a strong spiritual ambiance in the state. However, the state’s pilgrimage tourism largely depends on the existence of big, colourful Buddhist monasteries and sacred sites like that of lakes. Almost every popular Buddhist monastery in Sikkim has been carved with such details, and are painted in golden and red. Amongst the most famous monasteries is Rumtek , which is located close to the capital city of Gangtok and is visited by a large number of tourists and locals. The monastery apart from its spiritual ambiance offers a plethora of historical artifacts, metal statues and gem-studded cenotaphs..

Hindu and sikh pilgrimage in Sikkim. Apart from the monasteries, there are few Hindu pilgrimage sites as well, amongst which is Solophok Chardham , which is a complex with four prominent temples; a giant statue of Lord Shiva and twelve replicas of Jyotirlingas . This complex also has Sai Baba Temple, Sai dwar , Kirat dwar , Kirateshwar Statue, Shiv Dwar . Another important Hindupilgrimage site in Sikkim is Kirateshwar Mahadev Temple which comes to life during the Bala Chaturdesi Festival during November and December. Dedicated to Lord Shiv. This place has few connections with the epic of mahabharat . Also there are few Gurudwaras dotting the state like Nanak Lama Chungthang , Sarva Dharma Sthal and Baba Harbhajan Singh Mandir ..

Christian and muslim pilgrimage in Sikkim. Christianity in Sikkim also has a special place, and one can apparently find a pretty looking church or two in every town and city of the state. Some of the famous Christian pilgrimage sites in Sikkim include Hope City Church and St. Thomas Church in Gangtok , Sacred Heart Church in Pedong , and St.Mary Roman Catholic Church. Nevertheless, Sikkim also houses few mosques such as Anjuman Islam Mosque, Barelwi Jama Masjid.
