Uttar Pradesh, located in northern India, is a land of spiritual heritage, historic landmarks, and cultural richness. From the sacred banks of the Ganga in Varanasi to the grandeur of Agra’s monuments and the royal cities of Lucknow, the state offers a blend of pilgrimage, history, and culture. My journeys across Uttar Pradesh have included temple visits, heritage walks, and explorations of ancient cities.
