Uttarakhand has reported a significant increase in pilgrim footfall at two lesser‑known sacred sites, Jageshwar and Triyuginarayan, surpassing the numbers seen at the traditional Char Dham destinations.
According to officials from the state's tourism department, devotees are increasingly choosing these temples for their spiritual journeys, reflecting a shift in pilgrimage patterns.
The surge is expected to boost local economies, as more visitors require accommodation, food, and transport services. Local authorities are working to improve infrastructure and manage the growing crowds.
The rise in pilgrimages to Jageshwar and Triyuginarayan underscores Uttarakhand's broader appeal as a destination for religious tourism beyond its famed Char Dham sites.
