Govt. P.G. College, Narwana, Haryana, India. 2Asst. Prof. & Head of Department of Tourism, K.M. Govt. P.G. College, Narwana, Haryana, India. ABSTRACT Pilgrimages are the part and parcel of tourism activities and the concerned places are known as pilgrimage destinations in the tourism domain. Haryana, the pioneer state of India to introduce Highway tourism does also have pilgrimage tourism to show and sell. On the other hand, it is a well known fact that numerous towns and cities of the state were associated with the great religion of Jainism which led the mushrooming of Jain temples and other monuments dedicated to the great saints of Jainism. The systematic study of these areas and concerned Jain sites provide an input for designing and formulation of the Jain pilgrimage destination with mainstream tourism in Haryana. In this regard, the present study focuses on the Jain pilgrimage destinations of Haryana that has an appeal to attract large number of tourists from every nook and corners of the country. Keywords: Jain pilgrimages destination, Haryana tourism, Temple, India. INTRODUCTION Haryana a state in north India was carved out of the state of Punjab in 1966. It is bordered by Punjab and Himachal Pradesh to the north and Rajasthan to the west and south. Eastern border to Uttar Pradesh is defined by river Yamuna.
