If you want to welcome the New Year at a religious or spiritual place, then these famous pilgrimage sites of India can be a great option for you.

Varanasi (Kashi)

Varanasi, the spiritual capital of Uttar Pradesh, is considered the city of Lord Shiva. Darshan at Kashi Vishwanath temple and the grand aarti performed at the Ganga ghats provide deep peace to the mind. Boating in the Ganga in the morning and Aarti decorated with lamps in the evening fills the soul with new energy. Starting the new year here strengthens mental balance and positive thinking.

Rishikesh, Uttarakhand

If you are looking for spiritual peace away from the noise, then Rishikesh is an ideal place. This city situated on the banks of Ganga is world famous for yoga, meditation and spiritual practice. On the occasion of New Year, both mind and body can be given a fresh start by participating in yoga camps and meditation sessions here.

Vaishno Devi, Katra (Jammu and Kashmir)

The abode of Mata Vaishno Devi situated on Trikuta mountain is a big center of faith. The journey undertaken amidst the chants of ‘Jai Mata Di’ provides inner strength and faith to the devotees. There is a huge crowd here on New Year, but the satisfaction received from the darshan of Mata takes away every tiredness.

Mathura-Vrindavan (Uttar Pradesh)

Mathura and Vrindavan, the birthplace of Lord Krishna, are a confluence of devotion and love. The aarti, bhajan and kirtan performed in the temples here fill the new year with spiritual joy.

Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh

After the construction of Ram temple, Ayodhya has become a center of special attraction for the devotees. By seeing Lord Shri Ram on New Year, one can wish for dignity, restraint and positivity in life.

Which God should we see on New Year?

According to religious beliefs, any auspicious work is started by worshiping Lord Ganesha so that the obstacles are removed. Darshan of Shiva is considered auspicious for peace and stability, Tirupati Balaji or Dwarkadhish for prosperity and Mata Vaishno Devi or Mahalakshmi for power and glory. Ultimately, the best start of the new year is that which gives peace to your faith and satisfaction to your mind.
