A free pilgrimage scheme organized every year
It is worth mentioning that the Devasthan Department of the Government of Rajasthan frees pilgrims of different religions every year to visit more than 12 major pilgrimage centers across the country. The scheme was postponed in the last two years (2020 and 2021) due to the outbreak of Corona. But now it is starting once again.
