India by Religion
the cradle of all religions
  • About 1.4 billion people call India their home, and it is almost one-sixth of the entire world’s population. And all these people belong to different religions and ethnicities. While 94 percent of the world’s Hindus reside here, you can also find Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Muslims, and adherents of folk religions.

    Spirituality and religion are both parts of every people’s life in India. Personal devotional beliefs, temple worships, and rituals bear witness to India's many ancient unique architecture. From the East to West and the North to South, every state is splendid with a unique style of Temples, Churches, Monasteries, Mosques, and Gurdwaras.

    Several of them have also been declared as world heritage sites for their excellent craftsmanship and antiquity. A visit to India would remain incomplete without a trip to the many places to worship and beholding the many beautiful, unique practices and richness of these architectural places.

    From Ganga Arti in Varanasi to the famous Dargah in Ajmer, the magnificent Rameswaram temple in the south. Take a trip to Basilica of Bom Jesus in Goa, or a relaxing one to Golden Temple in Amritsar, and the ancient, most sacred Kamakhya Temple in the East. It will undoubtedly leave you breathless to be a part of this diversified India.

    India has a massive population that is devout as it is diverse. For more than 70 years of Independent India, the people feel the country has lived up to its dream of living and practicing its religion freely. Explore the many religious places this country has to offer and take a deeper dive into India's spirituality and spirit that celebrates diverse beliefs.

    Every citizen takes part in almost every festival and celebration irrespective of their opinions. Do not be surprised when you behold how Muslims burst firecrackers and dance on the streets celebrating Diwali and while Hindus visit churches and celebrate Christmas and so much more.
