Imagine several saffron clad tourists chanting and praying, imagine the pilgrim thronged Ghats and the Ganges, flowing from her source. That's Haridwar, the holy land of the Hindus.
Haridwar is famous for its temples, bathing ghats and tanks. The Ganges, considered as the holiest river in India, is the star attraction of Haridwar.
Pilgrims carry back the water from the Ganges, which they believe will remain fresh forever.
The Har ki Paori, is one of the most sacred ghats in India and hundreds gather at this ghat.
Haridwar is a must visit even for the not-so-religiously inclined. It is a place, whose every corner breathes with mysticism. |
