Over 1,000 devotees are on a transformative journey spanning 11,000 km across eight Indian states, visiting 12 Jyotirlinga temples, three sacred Dhams, and the Tirupati Balaji temple. Two specially designed trains, Kailash Bharat Gaurav and Chitrakoot Bharat Gaurav, facilitate the spiritual pilgrimage. The trains are adorned with vibrant vinyl wraps showcasing scenes from the sacred destinations, creating a visual spectacle resonating with the spiritual essence of the yatra.

The yatra began on 22 July 2023, from Bettiah in Bihar with devotees visiting the majestic Kedarnath at an altitude of nearly 12,000 feet, and continued to revered places like Vishwanath Jyotirlinga, Baidyanath Jyotirlinga, Jagannath Puri, Mallikarjuna Jyotirlinga, Rameshwaram Jyotirlinga, and Tirupati Balaji temple.

The inclusive approach allows devotees to join directly at any place, fostering unity among participants from different regions and backgrounds in line with "Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat" – celebrating cultural harmony during India's 75th independence anniversary.

Throughout the journey, devotees are spiritually and physically nourished with three meals as prasad, offered as an act of devotion. Undertaking the pilgrimage during the sacred month of Saavan amplifies the spiritual experience, making it a remarkable achievement for all pilgrims.

The yatra culminates on 19 August 2023 in Delhi, where the devoted travelers return transformed, having experienced the ethereal beauty and divinity of India's sacred landscapes. IRCTC's unwavering dedication to providing top-notch services ensures this once-in-a-lifetime experience will be etched in the hearts of all pilgrims.
