Pilgrimage is spiritual bliss for the soul. In India, according to Hinduism, pilgrimages are journeys one must embark upon. The sacred Narmada River is the lifeline of Central India and is worshipped as a mother. Since ages, people are following the tradition of circumambulating around the river from its source to sea and back. The west-flowing river is said to be ideal for spiritual exercise, on a pilgrimage or yatra. Spanning for over 15 days, the Narmada Parikrama tour package is designed meticulously to help devotees complete this sacred journey with ease. The well-planned itinerary covers almost all the holy sites and offers a soul-soothing experience. Embark on the arduous pilgrimage to seek the blessings of Maa Narmada.
The Narmada Parikrama, also known as the circumambulation of the Narmada River, is a sacred pilgrimage undertaken by devotees in India. The Narmada River, considered one of the holiest rivers in Hinduism, flows through the central part of India, primarily through the states of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat.
The Narmada Parikrama is a tradition that involves walking the entire circumference of the Narmada River, covering a distance of approximately 2,600 kilometers. Devotees undertake this pilgrimage as an act of devotion and to seek spiritual blessings. The journey typically begins and ends at a significant point along the river, such as Amarkantak in Madhya Pradesh, which is considered the source of the Narmada River according to Hindu mythology.
During the Narmada Parikrama, pilgrims walk along the banks of the river, visiting various temples, ghats (bathing places), and sacred sites associated with the Narmada. Along the way, they offer prayers, perform rituals, and immerse themselves in the spiritual atmosphere of the region. The pilgrimage is often seen as a test of endurance and faith, as devotees navigate through diverse terrain, including forests, hills, villages, and towns.
Throughout history, many saints, sages, and devotees have undertaken the Narmada Parikrama, seeking spiritual enlightenment and purification. It is believed that completing the circumambulation of the Narmada River grants immense spiritual merit and blessings.
Today, while the traditional foot journey remains popular among devotees, modern transportation options allow for variations in the pilgrimage, such as traveling by vehicle to key points along the river. However, for many, the traditional practice of walking the entire circumference of the Narmada River continues to hold great significance as a profound spiritual endeavor.
