In Sikhism it is not a requirement that pilgrimage places have to be visited to derive spiritual benefit or for attaining purification of the soul. Sikhs believe in one god and that we are all equal before god. Guru Nanak Dev Ji stated that the real pilgrimage is in contemplation of the lord's name and seeking union with god. Bathing in the several pilgrimage places does not confer any spiritual benefit. One needs to clean one self and get rid of worldly attachment, anger lust, sloth and jealousy. One needs to do real cleansing not go from one pilgrimage to another.
