Many Hindus, Buddhists and people who follow the shamanic religion of Bon undertake a pilgrimage each year to northern Nepal to look for ancient Shaligrams, which they believe to have an intrinsic consciousness.

But and gravel mining are altering the course of the Kali Gandaki river, endangering the pilgrimage and making it harder to find Shaligrams

Woah! Such an intriguing context for an information behaviour study! 😮 See this hot-off-the-press paper by local colleague, Perla Innocenti.

"The geographical pilgrimage is the symbolic acting out of an inner journey. The inner journey is the interpolation of the meanings and signs of the outer pilgrimage. One can have one without the other. It is best to have both."

Merton, Thomas. "From Pilgrimage to Crusade." (1964) in _Selected Essays_. Edited with an introduction by Patrick F. O'Connell. (Maryknoll, NY: Orbis Books, 2013), page 187.

Kumbh Mela is a massive Hindu festival that takes place every 12 years at four sacred rivers in India. It attracts millions of pilgrims who come to bathe in the holy waters and seek blessings from the saints and sages. Kumbh Mela is a temporary city that disappears without leaving a mark after the festival ends.

From the Monastery of the Flagellation in Jerusalem. Took this while walking on the Via Dolorosa (the traditional path of Jesus' walk to crucifixion). From July 2007 when I was doing summer study abroad program in Israel / Palestine.

New Pilgrimage on the tellybox. Last year’s triptych of programmes, through Ireland and Scotland, was great. Hoping this year’s Portuguese journey is equally enlightening.
