What this section covers

These are places people cross the country to visit. Four examples from the guides below:

• Tirupati: the temple of Venkateswara, a form of Vishnu also called Balaji, in the Tirumala hills of Andhra Pradesh. Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams runs it.
• Shirdi: the Samadhi Mandir of Sai Baba. The day there runs from the Kakad Aarti in the morning to the Shej Aarti at night.
• Siddhivinayak, Mumbai: a Ganesha temple in Prabhadevi, first built in 1801.
• Golden Temple, Amritsar: Harmandir Sahib, the holiest site of Sikhism. Its langar serves a free vegetarian meal to visitors of every faith.

The section goes beyond Hindu temples. You will also find gurdwaras, Jain tirths such as Ranakpur, Belur Math in Kolkata, ghats on the Narmada and heritage sites such as Khajuraho. Somnath has its guide in the Jyotirlinga section, and the Ashtavinayak and Shakti Peeth temples have sections of their own.
