India is covered with holy sites associated with the exploits of the
gods, the waters of a sacred river, or the presence of holy men. Texts
called the Puranas (ancient lore in Sanskrit) contain lengthy sections
that describe numerous sacred places and the merit gained by traveling
to them in a devout manner. Bathing at such sites is a specially
meritorious act. With the expansion of public transportation in the
twentieth century, there has been a vast increase in the numbers of
people who visit these spots to partake of the divine and visit new
places. In fact, for many Indians pilgrimage is the preferred form of
tourism, involving family and community groups in enjoyable and
uplifting vacations.
