Background

Rajasthan has been a land of many faiths and there are important pilgrimage centres here for the Hindus, Joins and, Muslims . For centuries, these have attracted visitors- both royal and commoners- and have been centres of religion, trade, culture, art and commerce.


Location

While every town has its major temples and shrines, over the centuries, some have gained a following all over the country and sometimes even outside the country. These include pilgrimages to Nathdawara, Kankroli, Ranakpur, Dilwara, Ramdeora, Salasar, Mahaveerji, Mehandi-pur-Balaji, Kaila, Dargah Sharif(Ajmer), Osian (Jodhpur), Nakoda (Barmer), Karni Mata Temple at Deshnok (Bikaner) and Sanwariaji (Chittorgarh).


Incentives

While there is a system of dharamshalas, basis eating palaces and a system of organizing darshans, these pilgrim centres could be developed more efficiently to provide a more complete experience for pilgrims coming from outside the region. This could include a network of a range of hotels, restaurants , souvenir and religious art and handicrafts, parking bays, shelters, retreats and meditation centres.
