The Garuda Purana
enumerates seven cities as giver of Moksha. They are Ayodhya, Mathura, Maya (
Haridwar ), Kasi, Kanchi, Avantika (Ujjain ),and Dvaraka.
Saptapuri is the name given to the seven
sacred cities associated with Hinduism in India. These are also referred as
Sapta Moksha Puris and Seven Tirthas. The general belief is that by visiting
these cities one escapes from endless cycle of births and deaths and attains
‘moksha.’
