The tradition of visiting sacred spots, places and buildings to attain religious merit, washing off the sins and accomplishment of desires has been a common practice in India and elsewhere in the Old World since time immemorial. Such an act has traditionally been regarded as noble and often equated with purification of body and mind, and achievement of merits. The present work makes an attempt to introduce to the reader various pilgrim centres, sacred shrines and holy sites connected with different faiths and traditions in India. Profusely illustrated with maps, line-drawings and rare photographs, this is an ideal companion to the treasures of art, religion and culture in the Indian Subcontinent. pp. xviii + 248 ; 30 col. & 57 b/w Illustrations
