What Is Narmada Parikrama?
Narmada Parikrama is a sacred pilgrimage around the Narmada River. Traditionally, pilgrims undertake the journey by keeping the river to one side while travelling from the source towards the sea and returning along the opposite bank.
The pilgrimage passes through ancient temples, ghats, forests, villages, ashrams and numerous sacred places associated with Maa Narmada. For many devotees, the Parikrama is more than a physical journey — it is a period of faith, discipline, self-discovery and devotion.
A Journey of Faith, Discipline and Devotion
