If we talk about religious tourism, Uttar Pradesh is one of the most famous states in India which is famous for its religious and cultural customs due to presence of famous religious rivers like Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati along with various religious places like Varanasi, Vrindavan, Mathura, Sarnath, Chitrakoot, Ayodhya, Hastinapur, Allahabad, Vindhyachal etc. There are many religious sites of Hindus in Uttar Pradesh among which Varanasi situated on the bank of river Ganges is very famous, Allahabad is famous for its mythical river Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati, Mathura, famous for the birthplace of Lord Krishna, Ayodhya, famous for the birthplace of Lord Rama is another famous religious destination. Uttar Pradesh is not only famous for Hindus religion but for Buddhists too. Sarnath- Kushinagar –Saraswati, the place where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon is one of the most famous Buddhist religious destinations in the world. In terms of Islamic religious destination, Uttar Pradesh is famous for mazaars of Sufi saints, HazratSalimChisti at Fatehpur Sikri, Dewa Sharif in Lucknow are a famous religious tourist destination. This paper highlights the religious tourism in Uttar Pradesh, its current policy and framework which is based on religious sites of Uttar Pradesh.
