Tirtha (Hindu pilgrimage)

In Hinduism, a Tirtha is a sacred site, often a river, lake, temple, or pilgrimage destination, believed to be spiritually auspicious. Visiting Tirthas is a way for devotees to purify their mind, body, and soul, seek blessings, and connect with the divine. These sites are considered sacred because they are associated with spiritual significance, mythological events, or revered saints. Pilgrimages to Tirthas often involve ritual baths, prayers, and offerings, serving as acts of devotion and pathways to spiritual growth. Tirthas play a vital role in fostering faith and community among Hindus.
