Journey or Yatra in Hindi, to a holy place is believed to be very sacred in many religions for attaining moksha. Often the "Holy Yatras" are performed by large groups of devotees to a sacred shrine or a place of a particular deity. It is said that these holy locations, also called Deo Bhumi (Adobe of the Gods), symbolize the union of Heaven and Earth, and only the most fortunate of humans are destined to visit these shrines. It is mentioned in various Hindu scriptures that the one who perform Holy Yatra will not only be freed of the sins he has committed in this life, but will also be freed from the endless cycle of birth and death. According to Hinduism, since the creation of time, man has had only one wish: to attain Shanti - the peace of mind and body. The Holy Yatras, with its overwhelming peace and tranquility lets you experience a calmness that touches your heart and frees your mind.
