116. My Visit to a Religious Place

People visit many places. The famous places of religious importance, historical importance, cultural importance and naturally beautiful places are normally visited. We also visit modern towns. We can get entertainment, knowledge and self-satisfaction different visiting places.

Last year, we visited Janakpur, a famous religious place of our country. We went there by bus. When our bus arrived at Janakpur, we directly reached at the Ram-Janaki temple. We saw many devotees going there. We saw many hermits with long matted hair and long beard. Some people were going there performing religious dances and chanting religious songs: 'Bhajan- kirtana'. We saw many devotees having holy dips in the sacred ponds.

It was our family pilgrimage. Our father who strongly believes in religion was our guide. As we arrived at a sacred pond, he told us to have a holy bath, we did. After having the holy bath, we went to the market and bought some sweets and flowers. As we were pilgrims, we offered the sweets, flowers and coins to the temple. Then we worshipped all the gods and goddesses moving temple to temple. I realized the RamJanaki temple is very attractive, richly decorated and artistic ornamented. The neatly tended beautiful garden in front of Ram-Janaki Vivaha Mandap is really sightful. We wanted to take a photograph but photography was not allowed there. Then, we went to the market and had some light snacks, then, we started our journey to Terhathum.

I have realized that my vision has been widened and broadened by that pilgrimage. I really entertained it. It is good to visit our famous places of cultural, historical and religious significance. I think our cultural heritages are our identification and dignity. Visiting such places we gain knowledge in different things. They refresh our mind.
