    About this circuit

    The Sapta Puri are the seven holiest cities in Hinduism, each believed to grant moksha (liberation): Ayodhya (Rama's birthplace), Mathura (Krishna's birthplace), Haridwar (gateway to the gods), Kashi/Varanasi (Shiva's eternal city), Kanchipuram (city of a thousand temples), Avantika/Ujjain (Mahakaleshwar), and Dwarka (Krishna's kingdom). All are well connected by rail and can be chained over a longer yatra.
