reason, it just needs inspiration. Most often, traveling is itself
the greatest inspiration indeed. However, while choosing destinations
or seasons for holidaying and traveling, festivals provide a major
occasion & reason for traveling. Whether celebrating a festival
with that distant family, or visiting a holy destination for a
particular festival or a ritual, or just going on pilgrimage as per
one’s faith, connection of travel & festivities is very old and
strong.

cumbersome experience. Also, the difficulty levels don’t
necessarily prove depths of faith. Here is some useful information
