Pilgrimage in Sikh tradition

Abstract

This chapter explores a phenomenon at the crossroads of three fields: religion, tourism and education. To understand how religious tourism functions as an educational experience, changes that have occurred in each of the three sub-fields are considered, including their cognitive, affective and instrumental impacts. The relationships between the various pairings of these three concepts (religious education, religious tourism and educational tourism) will be discussed in each of their respective fields. In the postmodern age, they have been melded into a concept increasingly important in all three fields. Travelers seeking knowledge and spirituality they feel cannot be found at home have given rise to a growing phenomenon: the educational pilgrimage.
