THEORY ABOUT INDIAN PILGRIM
‘India-A Sacred Geography’ describes ‘tirtha’ as the places that a pilgrim seeks. She further describes ‘tirtha’ as a place of spiritual crossing. According to her, a pilgrim is an ‘ascetic of sorts, leaving the household behind and taking up the privations and hardships of the road. There is a very real sense in which it is the pilgrims themselves who make the tirthas.’
