Secondly
it unfolds the rich and variegated land-capes gorgeous verdure
and splendid sylvan scenes to feast the eyes, thrill the frames and
elevate the souls. The magnificence of high peaks, low dales, vast
plains, narrow paths, gurgling founts, surging waters, leaping
quadrupeds, wheeling birds, pathless woods, whispering bushes, and
dreary deserts alternating in quick succession give their delightful
company through out the journey. Besides succeeding in relieving the
tedium of endless journey with their intrinsic loveliness and
external colour, they lift one to live in peace with himself first
man next, and finally with nature around. The pilgrim unconsciously
gets cleaned of all dross and gross and emerges a changed man after
the yatra.
