Tirtha (pilgrimage spots)

Tirtha refers to sacred pilgrimage sites in Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism, considered spiritually significant and capable of purifying the soul. These locations, often associated with temples, rivers, mountains, or ancient revered events, attract devotees seeking spiritual growth, blessings, or liberation (moksha). Visiting a tirtha involves rituals and offerings, symbolizing devotion and connection to divine teachings. Such sites serve as focal points for religious practice, cultural heritage, and community gathering, reinforcing faith and spiritual reflection. Examples include Varanasi, Rishikesh, and the Ganges River, each embodying deep religious symbolism and historical significance.
