Dear reader,

Imagine stepping into an age-old temple, expecting tranquility but finding chaos instead. This is the paradox gripping India's pilgrimage scene.

While infrastructure around these sacred sites has advanced leaps and bounds, the actual temple experience? Not so much.


If we don't fix this now, future generations will be completely off put by the temple going experience. What steps can we take to preserve the sanctity and enhance the experience of the temples?
