Pilgrimage is an important aspect of our life and has both religious as well as spiritual signi?cance. The present study examined the relationship of religiosity, happiness and satisfaction with life in the case of pilgrims in a very special cultural context of the Ardh-Kumbh Mela (held in Prayag, Allahabad, India) during the months of January and February, 2007). The study speci?cally examined these relationships in a sample of Kalpvasis (pilgrims who stay at the banks of the Sangam for a month in the holy city of Prayag during the Mela period). One hundred and ?fty-four Kalpvasis participated in the study. Positive association between religiosity, happiness and life satis- faction was obtained. Results showed that gender did not have a signi?cant role on these relations in the case of pilgrims. Implications of these results are discussed.
