Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced plans to transform the national capital into a major destination for religious and spiritual tourism. During the ‘Spiritual and Heritage Tourism Conclave 2026’, Gupta stated the government aims to move Delhi beyond its reputation as a “microcosm” and a mere transit hub by showcasing the city’s diverse traditions and cultures.

Following this announcement, the Delhi government officially launched four curated tourism circuits connecting 21 spiritual and heritage sites. These routes—‘The Soul of Delhi’, ‘The Heritage of Delhi’, ‘Delhi’s Sacred Harmony’, and ‘Echoes of Delhi’—map sequences of temples, gurdwaras, churches, and archaeological landmarks to encourage travel throughout the city.
