Hindu / Vaishnava / Gujarati
Dakor Ranchhodrai is already documented (dakor-ranchhodrai) — this entry emphasizes its role as kula-devata (family-god) for lakhs of Gujarati households who perform their annual Padayatra (foot-pilgrimage) here. The 84-km Ahmedabad-Dakor walk over 2 nights in Kartik Purnima is the principal household pilgrimage. Children are first-brought here for muṇḍan (first hair-cut).
India's sacred landscape embraces Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Zoroastrian, tribal, regional-folk traditions — each with its own cosmology and priestly lineage. This entry honours Hindu on its own terms.
