A sacred pilgrimage is a journey to a holy place or shrine, usually with religious significance. It's often undertaken as an act of devotion and can involve traveling long distances to reach the destination. The purpose of such a pilgrimage may vary from seeking spiritual enlightenment, showing reverence for a deity, venerating a saint or prophet, or fulfilling a religious obligation. Pilgrims often participate in rituals and ceremonies at the site, and many believe that their journey will bring them closer to God or provide other spiritual benefits. Examples of sacred pilgrimages include the Hajj to Mecca for Muslims, the Camino de Santiago in Spain for Christians, and the Kumbh Mela in India for Hindus.
