Belurmath Pilgrimage

by Asutoshananda

A pilgrimage is a journey or search of moral or spiritual significance. Typically, it is a journey to a shrine or other location of importance to a person's beliefs and faith, although sometimes it can be a metaphorical journey into someone's own beliefs. --from Wikipedia

Well known for its architectural elegance, clean environs, sacred associations and spiritual atmosphere, Belur Math was founded by Swami Vivekananda in 1898.
