Pilgrimages to temples are journeys within. They form an important cornerstone of Indian cultural heritage and stand testimony to countless stories of faith, devotion and hope. This book weaves the magic of history, mythology and ritualistic practices that give us a fascinating glimpse of Hindu Gods and their holy abodes. Festivals reiterate the significance of faith and add zest to life apart from binding society into a common thread. Our cultural heritage is our biggest treasure and storytelling is the perfect way to keep this culture alive and throbbing. Stories keep the rituals and ancient practices relevant and help generation after generation relive the magical experience of Indian mythology.
