A pilgrimage is a journey or search of moralor spiritual significance. Typically, it is a journey to a shrine or other location of importance to a person's beliefs and faith, although sometimes it can be a metaphorical journey into someone's own beliefs. Many religions attach spiritual importance to particular places: the place of birth or death of founders or saints, or to the place of their "calling" or spiritual awakening, or of their connection (visual or verbal) with the divine, to locations where miracles were performed or witnessed, or locations where a deity is said to live or be "housed", or any site that is seen to have special spiritual powers. Such sites may be commemorated with shrines or temples that devotees are encouraged to visit for their own spiritual benefit: to be healed or have questions answered or to achieve some other spiritual benefit. A person who makes such a journey is called a pilgrim. As a common human experience, pilgrimage has been proposed as a Jungian archetype by Wallace Clift and Jean Dalby Clift.

Pilgrimage is to travel, in search of something, and this something can be anything for each individual. The life comes with its quest. The quest for something more than what already exists. The quest for life never ends, until you yourself become the pilgrimage.
There are three ways, you can move on a spiritual journey. One is the external journey, simply for the sake of attainment, of something, of the external world. Second, is the internal journey, whereby, you try to find more meaning to life, and to know the higher truth of life.
The third and the last one, includes both the internal and external journey, where you travel, not for the sake of, internal or external quest, but to reach to the stage, where you yourself, becomes the pilgrimage.
All the pilgrimage that exists on earth, have a connection with one or the other sage, who has attained a stage, where he himself becomes the pilgrimage. The sage, who has experienced his peak. The sage, who has gone through his personal journey, to realize the ultimate.
Pilgrimage is all about the individual. You can go, in a group or alone, but it’s an individual’s journey. The significance of pilgrimage is to reach to the highest experience, within.

When it comes to life, we all are on an individual’s journey, and we all have our own legend to fulfill, and our own destination to be reached. Destination, however, may not literally suggest, the place in the external world, but to reach to your highest experience within.
