This profound ritual serves as both an essential introduction and a fitting conclusion to the larger pilgrimage, symbolizing the harmonious union of beginnings and endings, ultimately converging into a mandala of spiritual significance. The significance of this journey is so profound that it was meticulously outlined by James Prinsep in his renowned 1822 map of the City.

The Vishveshvara Antargriha journey holds such importance that approximately half of the pilgrims who undertake the Panchakroshi Yatra also embark on the Antargiha Yatra at various stages. Along this sacred route, you will encounter a total of 72 shrines and temples intricately connected to this transformative pilgrimage.
