visiting a temple; pilgrimage to a shrine
Rare, somewhat archaic term for a temple or shrine visit, often with a sense of devotion. In modern Japanese, お参り (おまいり) or 参拝 (さんぱい) are far more common.
In old tales, scenes of villagers going on a temple visit often appear.
'Monōmode' is an old word that is hardly used today.
Rare kanji spelling; the word itself is uncommon and mostly found in historical or literary contexts.
Abbreviated kanji form, even rarer than 物詣で.
Compound of 物 (もの, 'thing, object') + 詣で (もうで, 'visit to a sacred place'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the word is old and now rare.
