for our journey are

“A gallery of pictures from a Pilgramage to India in 2001 with family, friends and students to undertake a Yatra to ascend five sacred mountains to the the five sacred temples known as the Pañca Kedar from a story in the Mahābhārata in the events following the final battle.
This particular sacred journey myth is based around the five Pāṇḍava brothers attempt to seek atonement for the Gotrahatya (killing of kinsmen) and Brāhmanahatya (killing of Brahmins) they had just committed during the war.”
