The landscape of spiritual tourism in India is thriving. In May 2024, popular and religious pilgrimages in India, such as Badrinath, Amarnath, Ujjain, and Ayodha, experienced a 102% increase in the number of tourists.
There is a strong desire among domestic and foreign travelers to explore the religious sites of India, and their search for inner peace primarily fuels that.
Further, the tourism scene in India is being rewritten with many improvements in the amenities and a focus on infrastructure from the government.
Schemes such as “Swadesh Darshan,” HRIDAY (Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana) and “Prasad (Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual Augmentation Drive)” have catalyzed the growth of faith-based tourism in this part of the world.
Also, the rise in spiritual tourism has fuelled an economic renaissance in the country’s tourism market. It is expected to have a CAGR of 16% between 2023 and 2030.
So, from a tourist to anyone operating in the tourism industry, spiritual tourism emerges as a matter worth exploring.
What Is Spiritual Tourism?
Spiritual tourism refers to visiting religious or spiritual places for inner peace, mental wellness, and self-actualization. These journeys are expected to bring a positive transformation in our lives.
Rishikesh, Ayodha, and Amarnath are some of the most popular spiritual tourism destinations in India.
However, rich in mythology and natural abundance, every part of the country has stories and places that can change how you perceive your life. So, there is no wonder that spiritual tourism accounts for the majority of footfall here.
The inauguration of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on 22nd January 2024 has been a highlight for spiritual tourism in India. The presence of many spiritual leaders and eminent personalities graced the consecration ceremony. It also created intrigue among foreign tourists who were interested in the deep spirituality and religious aspects of the country. |
Spiritual Tourism In India: A Journey To An Economic Rennaissance Touching Various Sectors
The long Independence Day weekend in 2024 saw a surge in bus bookings to spiritual destinations. AbhiBus, a leading bus booking app in India, recorded a massive growth in the number of women solo travelers and spiritual tourists.
The app saw a 100-300% hike in bookings due to travelers heading to spiritual and wellness destinations like Rishikesh, Tirupati, Varanasi, and Ayodhya.
This is not a one-off example of how spiritual tourism is prompting an economic renaissance in the travel industry. Further, as the CM of Uttar Pradesh has said, this growth leads to employment generations and community growth.
⁍ Spiritual Tourism: A Profitable Economic Environment Drawing Investors
The growth in faith-based tourism has attracted investors from different walks of life. The wonderful fusion of spirituality and tourism has prompted increased investments in the following sectors.
‣ Real estate
‣ Hospitality
‣ Infrastructure
‣ Retail
‣ Wellness
‣ Local food businesses
In addition, basic infrastructure developments like new highways, train routes, and airports are happening rapidly thanks to the growing prospects of spiritual tourism.
Vande Bharat Express is likely to ply between Ramnagar and Haridwar. Earlier this year, a new Vande Bharat route was launched from Lucknow to Haridwar. Now, the Lucknow to Haridwar Vande Bharat train runs six days a week. |
⁍ Hospitality Industry Extending Their Offering
As the spiritual hubs get better connectivity and government infrastructure, the number of footfalls also increases. So, Marriott, Taj, and other big names are expanding their accommodations to welcome more guests every season.
These brands focus on the following factors to ensure a fulfilling experience for tourists.
‣ Traditional hospitality
‣ Modern comfort
‣ Luxury amenities
‣ Cleanliness
‣ Hygiene
‣ Family-friendly environment
So, at these accommodations, tourists will get the indulgence they have been looking for, along with a deep spiritual experience.
⁍ Urban Spiritual Tourism Making A Paradigm Shift In Wellness Services
Spiritual tourism is not just about being religious or visiting sacred places anymore. More elements, such as silence retreats and mindfulness, are being added to it, and that’s how millennials or Gen Z travelers approach it.
Vacations are becoming “Praycations” for Gen Z and millennials in India. Many temples like Shri Kashi Viswanath, Tirupati, Shree Siddivinayak Ganapati Mandir, and Sabarimala offer online booking facilities for prayers and darshan. |
Yoga and Ayurveda have been our chosen methods of holistic wellness these days. Capitalizing on this trend, big names such as Mayfair, ITC, and Taj offer tailored wellness retreats.
So, these hotels today are more than luxurious accommodations. This aspect, or the fusion of ancient wellness traditions and modern amenities, is a big draw to international travelers.
Also, you will find many wellness centers around these tourism hubs offering Yoga, meditation, and other alternative wellness services. For example, in Chahal and Manali, you will find so many piercing parlors, and piercing is often promoted as a coping mechanism for mental wellness.
“This shift has led to the rapid emergence of wellness resorts near major cities, providing city dwellers with convenient escapes for mental and physical well-being. Spiritual tourism in its modern form is now deeply linked to mental wellness, with offerings such as wellness cuisine, yoga and meditation programs, stress management packages, detox retreats, and chakra realignment therapies.” Tarun Gulati, Director, Himalayan Hotels on Growth and Transformation of Spiritual Tourism in India |
⁍ Spiritual Tourism And The Retail Landscape In India
My time in Varanasi and Amritsar surprised me with how the retail landscape in India is changing due to spiritual tourism.
You already had institutes like ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) selling retail products to their devotees and other religious visitors.
Everyone talks about their Ghee (clarified butter) and incense sticks. I am a huge fan, too, and every time I see an ISKCON outlet, I make it a point to visit.
Nevertheless, the big retail players are now taking a giant leap in the manufacturing and distribution of retail products near the spiritual hubs of the country. They are trying to create a supporting business ecosystem that capitalizes on the surge in spiritual tourism in India.
In general, I found the retail players targeting the following sectors.
‣ Local sweets and other delicacies
‣ Religious statues and other artifacts
‣ Fashion items (clothing and accessories)
‣ Puja essentials
‣ Prasad offerings
‣ Home goods*
‣ Essential electronic goods
In addition, you will notice that these big retail players are sellingplayers selling their products through multiple channels. You will find the same products in an old local market and the most modern shopping mall.
* In places like Mathura or Varanasi, many spiritual travelers opt for a rented room or a holiday home. In these places, you have to cook your food and arrange all other household requirements.
I remember buying a pressure cooker for my 6-month-old niece, and we stayed for around a month in a holiday home in Haridwar, where we needed to prepare her lunch every day.
⁍ Impact Of Spiritual Tourism On Local Communities
Spiritual tourism has positive and negative impacts on local communities.
- A rise in faith-based tourism to a place creates business and employment opportunities, yielding a positive impact on local income and revenue generation.
- Further, with the government and investors prioritizing infrastructure development in a place of religious importance, local people get to enjoy amenities they have not been getting so far.
- However, over-tourism can interfere with the dignity and culture of the local communities and may impact the sanctity of the site and its surrounding environment.
So, there needs to be a balance between the economic benefits of faith-based tourism on a local community and the sustainability part of it. Overall, the spiritual experience at a sacred site must remain authentic and respectful to the locals and their way of living. |
⁍ Creating Job Opportunities
Religious or spiritual tourism in India bagged a whopping revenue of INR 1.34 lakh crore in the year 2022. Further, by 2028, the same amount is likely to reach 59 billion.
Along with garnering this huge revenue, the spiritual tourism industry will create 140 million temporary and permanent jobs by 2030.
Most job creation around faith-based tourism is likely to happen in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttrakhand, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, and Punjab.
⁍ How Corporates Join The Spiritual Tourism Fervor: Understanding In Context Of The Ram Mandir Consecration
The Ram Mandir Consecration is the best case study of how businesses and brands from various sectors become associated with spiritual tourism. The table below explains it all.
Name of The Brand/Business | Contribution to The Ram Mandir Consecration |
PVR INOX | Screening the consecration event across 160 cinemas in 70 cities |
Dabur India | Profit made during the period of 17th to 31st January, 2024 |
Adani Wilmar | Jalebi and Bhog Distribution |
Mangaldeep (ITC) | Agarbattis and Infrastructure |
Havells | Lighting Project of the Mandir |
Uber | EV Autos in Ayodhya |
So, corporate houses are joining hands to make the spiritual tourism ecosystem in India bigger and better.
Importance and Growth of Spiritual Tourism In India
I have already touched upon how spiritual tourism promotes the growth of India’s economic landscape. However, its importance is beyond the financial facts and figures.
Here, I want to briefly discuss elements like its societal and cultural impacts and the restorative efforts behind it. Further, you cannot ignore how spiritual tourism is associated with personal enlightenment.
⁍ Cultural Inclusivity And Spiritual Tourism In India
Spiritual tourism in India is the best way to build cultural and religious inclusivity in the nation. In every few kilometers of the nation, the inhabitants follow different cultures and religious faiths.
So, you may visit a monastery, a church, a temple, a Gurudwara, or a mosque. Each sacred site will introduce you to different ways of seeing life and connecting with the universe. Also, often, the most sacred sites are found at the end of a tough trek or journey.
These places teach how nature exists in union with human beings and other creations. Moreover, these religious sites have special festivals, special workshops, and seminars. Attending those can help you connect to different cultures and religions and gather life-changing lessons.
⁍ Restoration And Rejuvenation Of Heritage
Government schemes like Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual Augmentation Drive or PRASAD are dedicated to presenting the cultural and spiritual richness of the country to the world.
Only under the PRASAD scheme were 41 sites from 25 states chosen to develop spiritual tourism. Further, according to industry insiders, these revivals and rejuvenations of religious sites are part of a bigger strategy to boost Indian tourism.
No wonder that in 2024, India has made an advancement of 15 places in the Travel and Tourism Development Index (TTDI) published by the World Economic Forum (WEF). In 2021, it was in 54th position among 119 countries, and now it holds the 39th rank.
Nevertheless, here are some of the sites chosen for renovation and restoration under the PRASAD scheme.
‣ Dwarka and Somnath (Gujarat)
‣ Trimbakeshwar (Maharashtra)
‣ Belur (West Bengal)
‣ Ajmer (Rajasthan)
‣ Tripura Sundari (Tripura)
‣ Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri (Uttarakhand)
‣ Mathura and Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh), etc.
The restoration of these sites will project India as a spiritual hub and global tourism center. It will emerge as a country that future generations will at least want to visit once for an immersive experience.
There has been a growth of 60% in bookings in Puri, Ujjain, Varanasi, and other temple towns. – The Hindu Businessline |
These Are The Major Spiritual Destinations In India
The Kashi Biswanath Temple, built by Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar in 1780, is the most prominent spiritual destination in India. India also has Tugnath temple, one of the highest Shiva temples in the world.
However, India is filled with mystical alleys, stories of devotion, and myths. Let’s visit some of those places where you can connect to the higher realm and get immersed in inner peace.
⦿ Varanasi
Varanasi or Benaras in Uttar Pradesh is the most revered destination for spiritual tourism in India. The land of Lord Shiva and Parvati has also been a center for learning and philosophy for more than 3000 years.
“Benaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together.” – Mark Twain. |
The Kashi Biswanath temple is the highlight of this ancient city. However, the Dashashwamedh Ghat, Manikarnika Ghat, and Assi Ghat are some other places of spiritual importance in the ancient city.
Hindus believe that all their sins get washed away if they spend their last days in Benaras, and the water of Mother Ganges liberates them from the cycles of birth and rebirth.
⦿ Rishikesh
All eyes were again on Rishikesh, the Yoga Capital of the World, in August 2024. Fortune Hotels, a member of ITC’s hotel group, announced a new luxury property. The accommodation will offer the best views of the Ganges and have the best amenities. It will open its doors in June 2025.
ITC already had three other accommodation properties in Uttarakhand. Those are at Haldwani, Haridwar, and Mussoorie. These three locations are some of the biggest attractions in the tourism landscape of Uttarakhand and overall India.
Nevertheless, this opening of a new luxury property in Rishikesh shows how important it is for spiritual tourism.
Today, the ashramas and many organizations offer a comprehensive Yoga experience. You can take part in Kundalini Yoga and Hatha Yoga. Further, there are places to learn more contemporary lessons, such as Ashtanga and Vinyasa.
Every year, the Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board organizes an annual International Yog Festival (IYF) here.
Moreover, many pilgrims start their Char Dham Yatra from Rishikesh.
Rishikesh also has many beautiful temples, and among all of them, I found the Virbhadra Temple most intriguing. Virbhadra is one of the fiercest avatars of Lord Shiva, born out of sweat. You must visit this temple during Maha Shivratri.
Did You Know? Rishikesh became internationally acclaimed after The Beatles visited the ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1968. The band members visited the ashram to learn “Transcendental Meditation.” John Lennon’s “The Happy Rishikesh Song” captures the true essence of the trip. Lord Rama visited Rishikesh after killing Ravana. He visited the place with his brothers for penance. |
⦿ Haridwar
Haridwar literally translates to the “Gateway to Gods.” Located on the Gangetic plaines, Haridwar is famous for the Kumbh Melas. This holy place in Uttarakhand also hosts Ardh Kumbh or the half Kumbh every six years.
As ancient as the Vedic Times, Haridwar has Panch Tirth or the five pilgrimages. These five spots are:
‣ Har Ki Pauri or Gangadwara
‣ Bilwa Tirtha, or the Temple of Manasa Devi
‣ Neel Parvat in the Eastern edges of the Brahmagiri Hills (Famous for the Chandi Devi Temple and Siddh Peetha)
‣ Kankhal
‣ Kushwart (Ghat)
Further, being present at the Ganga Aarti in the morning and evening is an immersive experience. Youngsters today are especially fascinated to watch Ganga Aarti, as the internet and social media platforms are getting flooded with videos and photos.
⦿ Kedarnath
Kedarnath is one of the holiest pilgrimages for the followers of Sanatana Dharma. In Uttarakhand, Kedarnath is also a popular trek route for mountaineering enthusiasts.
The Kedarnath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is the main attraction of this spiritual destination. However, there are other attractions like the Rudra Meditation Cave, Bhairavnath Temple, and Adi Shankaracharya Samadhi, making the place more revered.
Diwali celebration at Kedarnath is mesmerizing, and you must plan your trip around that time.
⦿ Amritsar Golden Temple
The Golden Temple, or Sri Darbar Sahib Amritsar, is much beyond the biggest religious site for the Sikh. It is a microcosm of universal brotherhood and inclusivity, propelling the wheels of humanity.
The grand architecture of the Amritsar Golden Temple has stories of humility and egalitarianism written on every pillar.
Moreover, the Guru Ram Das Langar at the Amritsar Golden Temple is the largest “community-driven free kitchen” in the world. Thanks to this Langar, Amritsar has got the name “The Indian city where no one goes hungry.”
Vikas Khanna, the most prominent Michelin Star Indian chef in the global landscape and an Amritsari boy, has always mentioned how this Langar inspires his cooking.
⦿ Shree Jagannath Temple (Odisha)
Shree Jagannatha Temple in Puri is one of the Char Dhams or holiest pilgrimages in Sanatan Dharma. The 12th-century temple built by Ananta Varman Chodaganga Dev of the Ganga Dynasty has Lord Jagannath as its deity.
Lord Jagannath resides with his brother Lord Balaram and sister Subhadra in this temple. This temple is the hub of many festivities, and Rath Yatra is the most famous of them all.
You must visit the temple to understand why it is a spiritually elevating journey. As you enter the chamber (Garbh Griha) and take a round around the deities, tears will roll down your cheeks, and there is a palpable energy, giving you goosebumps.
Further, the festival of Nabakalebara is the most intriguing. The festival celebrates the concept of rebirth, and it says that the body may perish, but the soul is immortal.
When Lord Krishna became the prey to a hunter, he left for his heavenly abode. The fire burnt his mortal remains, but his heart remained untouched. It is said that the heart, or “Bramh Padartha,” is inside the idol of Jagannath. During Nabakalebara, this Brahma Padartha is transferred from the old idol to the new. This ritual is observed under utmost secrecy, and the state of Odissa has a blackout during those hours. The person who performs this change of Brahm Padartha” keeps his eyes and hands covered throughout the ritual. |
The Puri temple is also associated with Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, a spiritual leader, scholar, and pioneer of the Bhakti Movement in Bengal. His devotion to Lord Jagannath is the story of ultimate surrender to the supreme lord.
Moreover, there are many myths about the temple. The temple does not cast any shadow, and no bird flies over the temple.
⦿ Tungnath Temple
Tungnath Temple is the highest Shiva temple in the world, and it is among the five holiest shrines (Panch Kedar) dedicated to Lord Shiva.
Another spiritual wonder in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, Tungnath Temple, stands out for its Nagara style of architecture. Further, here, the forelimbs of Lord Shiva are worshipped. Tungnath Mahadev Fair is the biggest festival here, and it is a place with abundant medicinal abundance.
The history and myths around the Tungnath Temple are amazing.
Myths have it that Pandavas went to Lord Shiva for penance after the massacre at the Kurukshetra War. However, Lord Shiva was unwilling to forgive them. So he hid himself in a place called Uttarkashi (in Uttarakhand).
However, when the Pandavas reached Uttarkashi, he went to Kedar. The Pandavas followed him this time.
In Kedar, Lord Shiva took the disguise of a bull. However, Bheema, one of the Pandavas, recognized him and caught the hump of the bull.
Suddenly, the bull started entering the land, and his body parts appeared in five different places. These five places are called Panch Kedar. Kedarnath is the first among them.
The Pandavas built all the temples in Panch Kedar, including Tungnath. Later, Adi Shankaracharya, the pioneer of the Advaita Vedanta school of Hindu Philosophy, discovered it.
Lesser-Known Spiritual Destinations In India (Find The Hidden Gems)
A 2022 Statista report says that India has 649 thousand Hindu temples. Being a multi-religious, multi-ethnic, and multi-cultural country, it also has many mosques, churches, Gurudwaras, synagogues, and other religious sites.
Further, it has mountains, caves, rivers, and other places of religious and spiritual significance. So, it is never possible to present the entire landscape of spiritual tourism sites in India in a single frame.
While discussing celebrated destinations like Kedarnath, Varanasi, and Rishikesh, uncountable spiritual sites await with their ethereal charm.
⦿ Manikarneshwar Devalaya
Manikarneshwar Devalaya in North Guwahati, Assam, is revered as “East Kashi” in ancient scriptures. Local folklore says that Lord Shiva rested here under a bel or stone apple tree after his consort Sati’s self-immolation.
With a star-shaped plinth, the temple has medieval architecture, and it is soaked in a spiritual flavor.
⦿ Mahabodhi Temple Complex At Bodh Gaya
The Mahabodhi Temple Complex At Bodh Gaya in Bihar is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is one of the four holy sites for Buddhists in India. Lord Buddha attained enlightenment here.
A hub of peace and reflection, the Mahabodhi Temple Complex also stands out for its architectural excellence. The oldest temple here was built during the reign of Emperor Asoka from the Maurya Empire. Further, the newest structures here belong to the late Gupta Period.
⦿ Varkala
Varkala in Kerala is revered as the Southern Kashi of India. The Janardana Swami Temple here is 2000 years old and one of the most noted pilgrimages for Vaishnavaites in India.
Further, the Papanasam beach is close to the beach. Papanasam is a fusion of two words, Pap (Sin) and Nasam (End). So, it roughly translates to the end of sin.
People believe that all their sins get washed away after bathing in this water.
Inspiring Spiritual Tourism Stories In India: A Journey That Transforms
“I visited Benaras, the spiritual capital of India, this year, and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life! With the government working towards creating a spiritual hub, the temples are well organized.
Even transportation has remarkably become well-connected. Visiting spiritual locations has made me more open to distinct experiences, creating memories that are actually more gratifying.
I have become more adaptable to changes in everyday plans, spontaneous towards organic experiences, and positive when it comes to visiting these places!”
– Sagnika Sinha, Teacher and Solo Traveler.
“My best spiritual experience in India has been in Kedarnath, Uttarakhand. Set on the Garhwal range of the Himalayas, this is the place where you will get to experience a mix of spirituality and scenic beauty.
Known as the “Gateway to the Himalayas,” the most important attractions include the Kedarnath Temple (consisting of the Shiva Jyotirlingam), the Bhimasil Rock, and the Resting place of Adi Shankaracharya. The trek from Gaurikunda to Kedarnath made the experience even more memorable.”
– Soumava Goswami, Writer, Traveler and Literature Enthusiast
Social Media Is Fueling Faith-Based Tourism In India (How Social Media Is Promoting Various Spiritual Destinations)
Social media platforms have played a vital role in promoting and transforming spiritual tourism in India. Here are the key observations about how social media has gained importance in faith-based tourism in India.
- Platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram have worked as important tools for destination branding.
- Further, these platforms have helped create communities for spiritual tourism. People share photos, videos, and reels of these destinations and talk about them.
- Also, when someone uploads photos and videos of traveling to spiritual destinations on these platforms, these elements become crucial to authentic accounts. Thus, these reels/videos/photos become decision-making factors when selecting a spiritual tourism destination.
- Social media creates curiosity about off-beat religious places and unknown customs.
- Many youngsters also visit spiritual destinations to create similar content.
More About Social Media Marketing On Spiritual Tourism In India
Strategic social media marketing today promotes the growth of spiritual tourism in the country and enhances visitors’ experience.
What Social Media Assess | What Functions Social Media Perform | Final Outcome |
‣ Tourist attitudes ‣ Travel intentions ‣ Preferences | ‣ Run targeted campaigns. ‣ Create and share captivating visuals and stories. ‣ Shape narratives ‣ Promote spiritual sites, festivals, and cultural experiences. | ‣ Influence the perception of visitors about particular spiritual destinations. |
Further, social media is important for the following stakeholders in spiritual tourism:
‣ Religious institutions
‣ Travel agencies
‣ Tour operators
Off late, social media played a vital role in the inauguration of Ram Mandir in the Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya. All the campaigns and content on social media ignited a fervor of spiritual tourism among domestic and global tourists.
The Tourism and Culture Department of Uttar Pradesh got a budget of ₹25 lakhs to engage social media influencers on YouTube, X, Twitter, and Facebook. The influencers were asked to promote stories related to the Ram temple, including the development of Ayodhya and the construction work of the temple. |
Spiritual Tourism In India: Challenges, Prospects, And Way Forward
With the market boom of spiritual tourism in India, it has become essential to identify the prospects, challenges, and ways forward.
Here, I have discussed all these aspects based on my understanding as a traveler and miscellaneous research.
Prospects Of Spiritual Tourism In India
Many tourist circuits can be built around religious and spiritual sites. For example, Dehradun or Rishikesh can be a tourist circuit, allowing tourists to explore the best of Uttarakhand and its wonders.
Further, as I have mentioned, there are scopes for streamlined infrastructural developments in spiritual tourism hubs.
Challenges Of Spiritual Tourism In India
Despite the immense market growth and scope for infrastructural development, spiritual tourism in India has many challenges. Overtourism is the biggest problem, impacting waste management, shortage of resources/capacity, and security concerns.
Spiritual Tourism Challenges In India | How They Impact |
Over Tourism | Overtourism can exert a lot of pressure on the state’s existing infrastructure. Thanks to the Char DhamYatra in Uttarakhand, every year, there is massive pressure on the transportation system of the Garhwal region. As a result, roadblocks and accidents have become common. |
Waste Management | The management of biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastage (for example, plastic) still remains a problem in India. Further, many domestic tourists simply don’t understand the “Leave no trace policy” disturbing the entire waste management system of a locality or state. Thanks to over-tourism in 2024, Manali had to deal with 70 to 100 tonnes of waste every day at the waste treatment plant. It was way more than the usual waste generation and the capacity of the plant. |
Furthermore, India is a multilingual country. Many domestic tourists are often not versed in standard Hindi or English, creating communication barriers.
Also, foreign tourists face difficulties communicating with locals who don’t understand Hindi or English.
Use Of Technology: Spiritual Tourism In India Way Forward
Preservation of the glorious spiritual sites in India needs the use of technology. Technology will further help to disseminate the unknown stories about these places.
It may not always be possible to stop the erosion of physical artifacts. However, we can use technologies like holograms and VR (virtual reality) to conserve everything for posterity.
We can have VR labs or use holography in museums and educational centers so that youngsters and children can learn about our spiritual leaders and sites in an interactive manner.
Further, even if a foreign student or tourist visits these places, these dynamic technologies will eradicate the cultural barriers.
Thus, connecting to the ancient roots and spirit of India will be easier and more engaging, leading to inner peace and happiness.
