A pilgrimage is a journey to a holy place for religious reasons. The purpose of a pilgrimage can be to seek blessings from the divine, to atone for sins, or to show devotion to a deity.

Common rituals and ceremonies associated with pilgrimage include bathing in a sacred river, circling a holy shrine, and offering prayers and sacrifices.

Sacred sites are believed to be the dwelling places of deities, to possess supernatural powers, and to be places of great spiritual energy.

Examples of sacred sites include temples, mosques, churches, and other places of worship.
