How does the concept of sacred geography connect people across India?

Sacred geography connects people by linking pilgrimage sites and sacred spaces across regions. When pilgrims travel to places such as the Char Dhām, the Kumbh Mela sites or regional shrines, they meet people from different languages and customs, share rituals and festivals, and exchange ideas and traditions. This movement of people and practices helps build common religious values and cultural ties that promote unity across India.
