Haj is an annual pilgrimage of the followers of Islam to Saudi Arabia’s Mecca, considered the holiest city for Muslims.

Haj pilgrimage is supposed to be carried out by all capable Muslims at least once in their lifetime, provided an adult is physically and financially capable of undertaking the journey and of supporting their family during their absence from home.

Ministry of Minority Affairs is the nodal ministry to conduct Haj pilgrimage in India.
