Kalyani University. ABSTRACT: To the Hindus the whole world is sacred as it is believed to spring from the very body of God. Hindus call these sacred spaces to be “tirthas” which is the doorway between heaven and earth. These tirthas(sacred spaces) highlights the great act of gods and goddesses as well as encompasses the mythic events surrounding them. It signifies a living sacred geographical space, a place where everything is blessed pure and auspicious. One of such sacred crossings is Shrikshetra Purosottam Shetra or Puri in Orissa.(one of the four abodes of lord Vishnu in the east). This avenue collects a vast array of numerous mythic events related to Lord Jagannatha, which over the centuries attracted numerous pilgrims from different corners of the world and stand in a place empowered by the whole of India’s sacred geography. This sacred tirtha created a sacred ceremonial/circumbulatory path with the main temple in the core and the secondary shrines on the periphery. The mythical/ritual traditions are explained by redefining separate ritual (sacred) spaces. The present study is an attempt to understand their various features of these ritual spaces and their manifestations in reality at modern Puri, a temple town in Orissa, Eastern India. KEYWORDS: sacred geography, space, Jagannatha Temple I. Introduction Puri is one of the most important and famous sacred spaces (TirthaKhetra) of the Hindus.

  • Socio-Economic Impacts in Pilgrimage Tourism S.Vijayanand
    ZENITH International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research Vol.2 Issue 1, January 2012, ISSN 2231 5780 SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS IN PILGRIMAGE TOURISM S.VIJAYANAND* *Ph.D Scholar, Department of tourism studies, School of Management, Pondicherry university, Kalapet, Pondicherry – 605014. ABSTRACT Pilgrimage, whether religious or secular, is experiencing resurgence around the world. This includes the motives for pilgrimage, activities during the pilgrimage, and the influence of tourism on it.The findings show that the visitor population ranged widely from very religious orthodox pilgrims, through "traditional" pilgrim-tourists to secular tourists. The features of present-day pilgrims can be represented on a scale that may be described as secular versus spiritual, and tourism versus pilgrimage. This typology also offers a model for the development of the pilgrimage sites. The findings highlight the increasing convergence of old-fashioned pilgrimage and current tourism, which have much in common. Additionally, this research emphasizes the expanding nexus of holy sites, society, politics, ideology, and culture.This article explains and supports the idea that the economic impacts of religious tourism should not be neglected or underestimated, although religious institutions have traditionally attempted to downplay this in the past. Additionally, the paper argues that religion and tourism have much in common. In the modern world it is hard to ignore the impression that in most places of pilgrimage the profane impacts of tourism are just as important if not more so than the religious. This paper lends theoretical support to this argument. KEYWORDS: religious tourism, economic impacts, pilgrimages. ______________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Businesses and public organizations are increasingly interested in the economic impacts of tourism at national, state, and local levels.

    LOK SABHA ___ SYNOPSIS OF DEBATES (Proceedings other than Questions & Answers) ______ Wednesday, February 5, 2020 / Magha 16, 1941 (Saka) ______ STATEMENT BY THE PRIME MINISTER THE PRIME MINISTER (SHRI NARENDRA MODI): Today, I have specially come before all of you to share information pertaining to a very important and historic subject. This subject is as close to the heart of crores of our fellow countrymen as it is to me. And I feel honoured to speak about this. This subject is connected to Shri Ram Janm Bhoomi and is about construction of a magnificent temple of Bhagwan Shri Ram at his birth place at Ayodhya. On 9th November 2019, I was in Punjab for dedicating the Kartarpur Sahib corridor to the nation on the occasion of the 550th Prakash Parv of Guru Nanakdev ji. It was in this divine environment that I come to know about the historical judgment of Highest Court of the country on the subject of Ram Janm Bhoomi. In this judgement, the Hon'ble Supreme Court decided that the Inner and Outer Courtyard of the disputed land in Ram Janm Bhoomi belongs to Bhagwan Shri Ram Lalla Virajman. The Hon'ble Supreme Court, in their judgment, had also stated that the Central Government and the State Government, in consultation with each other, will allot 5 acres of land to the Sunni Central Waqf Board. Today, I am very happy to share with this august House and the entire country that the Union Cabinet in its meeting held this morning has taken important decisions on this issue, keeping in mind the directions of the Supreme Court.
