Witness the Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat
When you stay at Brijrama Palace, a centuries-old heritage property in Varanasi, you can experience a timeless ritual. See countless glowing lights banishing the darkness at Varanasi’s evening Ganga aarti on Dashashwamedh Ghat.
As the sun sets, priests perform an age-old ritual, filling the air with chants, prayers and the warm glow of oil lamps. This ceremony, held on the sacred riverbanks, invites you to immerse yourself in a spiritual tradition that unites people across cultures in a shared reverence.
From a boat on the river, watch as flames dance against the night, symbolising hope and renewal.
Find Your Inner Light at Eremito Hotelito del Alma
If you long to step away from life’s frantic pace, the serene sanctuary of Parrano, Italy, awaits. Eremito Hotelito del Alma, set in the mystical Umbrian valleys, invites travelers to embrace solitude, silence and the renewing light of inner peace.
This is Italy for the soul—a place where the lush landscapes, timeless architecture and sensory pleasures of fresh cuisine offer a spiritual retreat.
Amid pristine forests and the sounds of nature, Eremito fosters a profound connection to self and Earth. Here, each moment unfolds as a quiet journey, inviting you to pause, reflect and rediscover your inner light.
Discover Art as a Sacred Portal at Laalee
At Laalee in Jaipur, discover a transformative spiritual experience guided by co-creators Dr. Preeti and Ganesh Kohli. Through meditation and healing sessions tailored to your needs, you’ll explore deeper self-awareness and inner peace.
Art here serves as a sacred pathway, each corner and painting symbolising love and connection, inspired by Krishna’s life. Comfortable, art-filled rooms offer a spiritual ambiance, while exquisite, locally-sourced cuisine elevates your stay.
This retreat also embraces cultural sustainability, supporting local artisans and traditional crafts. At Laalee, find the light within you and tools to carry that serenity and clarity home with you.
Find a Pathway to Peace at Blue Book and Neem Karoli Baba Ashram
A stay at Blue Book paired with a visit to the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram offers a serene journey into spirituality and self-discovery. Blue Book’s tranquil ambiance, where mornings begin with birdsong, provides the perfect foundation for a reflective day ahead.
A short tree-lined walk brings you to the ashram, where simplicity and reverence create a profound sense of peace. Amid incense-scented air and serene gardens, you’ll find a space to pause and reflect.
