Yoga and meditation are some of the key elements of spirituality and Shilpa Shetty is a strong practitioner of both. Tapping into her spiritual energy, she recently embarked on a “journey of faith and love” when she paid a visit to Kedarnath. The actress was joined by her daughter Samisha, sister Shamita, and their mother Sunanda Shetty. The actress shared some special moments from the vacation. “Checking off the bucket list with a pilgrimage to one of the Four Dhams,” she wrote. The Kedarnath temple, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and an overcast sky, painted a picture of serenity.

5 Pilgrimage Destinations To Visit In India
Just like Shilpa Shetty, if you wish to embark on a “miracle-bound spiritual binge”, check out these five locations in India that you can visit.
1. Badrinath Temple, Uttarakhand
Gushing rivers and snow-covered peaks create the beauty of Badrinath, one of the four Dhams in Uttarakhand. The idyllic haven is a treat for peace-seekers wishing to escape the humdrum of city life. Witness the exotic flora and fauna at Nanda Devi National Park and experience the quiet life at Mana, the last village in India.
2. Vaishno Devi, Jammu and Kashmir
With the “Jay Mata Di” chant reverberating from the crowd of devotees, undertake the Vaishno Devi journey through steep winding roads, lined with shops and a breathtaking natural view. Experience the magic of the place and fold your hands at the triple rock formation, worshipped as Goddess Durga.
3. Sabarimala Temple, Kerala
Regarded as one of the oldest temples in Kerala, the Sabarimala shrine is dedicated to the Lord Ayyappa deity. When you are in God's own country, expect to be amazed by the lush greenery, verdant hills, and thickly-clustered forests on the way.
4. Ramanathaswamy Temple, Rameswaram
Located in the pilgrimage town of Rameswaram, the Ramanathaswamy Temple brings in lakhs of pilgrims here. Lord Rama is the deity of worship here. Besides falling in love with the vibe of the beach town, you can also admire the deft architecture, picture-worthy landscapes, and a visit to the Water Bird Sanctuary.
5. Mahabodhi Temple, Bodh Gaya
Take a close look at the place where Buddha found enlightenment. Considered a UNESCO heritage site, the Mahabodhi Temple is a fascinating brick architecture. A gilded Buddha statue will make your eyes widen, while beautiful stupas and Lotus Pond, coupled with a natural bliss will fill your heart with tranquility.
