Sommario/riassunto

The e-book focuses on some very prominent places of spiritual and cultural interest such as the temple at Tirupathi which is the world’s largest pilgrimage destination and is visited on an average by a million tourists everyday. The other sites chosen are the Buddhist tourism circuit, the Golden Temple at Amritsar which is the great spiritual center for the Sikhs from all across the globe. The special issue also features work on the Vaishno Devi shrine in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Two very famous temples at Deli- Lotus Temple and ISKON



temple are also featured in the special issue. There are very interesting common threads running across at each of these destinations. There are lots of suggestions for the policy makers, civic authorities as well as the management boards of these places.
