The Tata's Nano is on a pilgrimage across the country and will visit sacred sites of all religions before it hits the road commercially. According to industry sources,Tata Motors is taking the Nano,touted as the world's cheapest car,to as many pilgrimages as possible of all religions. The company is currently conducting test drives of the car in different cities and terrains to check the Nano's endurance,they added. The Nano has already sought blessings at Golden Temple in Amritsar and Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti's dargah in Ajmer. When contacted,a company spokesperson said,"The Nano is being tested in different parts of the country. The route included passing through cities like Ajmer and Amritsar,and our colleagues considered it appropriate to visit the pilgrimage centres." The company will launch the Rs 1-lakh car on March 23 in Mumbai and bookings would start from April this year. The Nano was unveiled at the Auto Expo in Delhi in January 2008. The Nano was to be launched in the second half of 2008,but the process got delayed after the company was forced to shift the manufacturing base from Singur in West Bengal to Sanand in Gujarat.
