India's spiritual landscape is getting a youthful glow-up. Gen Z and Millennial devotees are reshaping how pilgrimages work — with the help of apps, QR codes, and smartphones. Welcome to the age of digital yatras! 📿📱

📲 1. Online Booking for Darshan & Accommodations

No more standing in endless lines — youth now book darshan slots, pooja packages, and even temple stays online via apps and official temple websites.

💸 2. UPI Donations Are the Norm

Young devotees prefer scanning QR codes to donate to temples or contribute to free annadhanam schemes. Transparent, instant, and paperless.

🚌 3. Travel + Darshan = One-Tap Itineraries

Apps like IRCTC, Redbus, MakeMyTrip and even temple tourism boards offer pilgrimage combos — train + room + darshan pass. Seamless and easy!

🧘‍♂️ 4. YouTube Vlogs & Reels from Holy Places

Young creators are documenting their spiritual journeys on Instagram and YouTube. It’s boosting temple tourism and modern devotion like never before.

🌐 5. E-Darshan for Students Abroad
