One of the
most compelling features that make India a haven for religious
tourism is quite simply the number of religions that thrive here. Very few
countries of the world can boast of such secular credentials. While Hinduism,
Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism can claim origins in India, non-Indian religions
like Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism continue to thrive here.
The tourist places featured here have not been selected on the basis of being the biggest or the
most popular. Rather, they are a photo-essay representation of the diversity of
religions that co-exist peacefully in this country.
