Hardwar: THE GATEWAY TO HEAVEN

Hardwar or Haridwar is one of the holiest places for Hindus in India. It is significant that pilgrims go from Hardwar to Sri Kedarnath and Sri Badrinath

Hardwar is home to many ashrams and dharamshalas, which have been established by Sadhus and religious institutions. It is a city of great religious significance and everyday large number of pilgrims arrive and depart. Legend has it that the yakshas and the devas had the great darshan of Lord Vishnu here. Every twelve years, Kumbh mela and after six years the Ardh Kumbh Mela are held when lacs of pilgrims from all over India throng the ghats of the Ganga.

Here at Hardwar, the mighty Ganga hurries down from the Hills to the luxuriant ridges of the Himalayas. The Ganga is worshipped as the “holy mother” and believed to be the cleanser of all sins. From early morning to late night, hundreds of pilgrims take the holy dip, worship the sacred Ganga and perform Puja. Each evening, hundreds of devotees attend the grand Arti performed at Har-ki-pauri. This is an emotional experience as the pilgrims gather together in a air of reverence and devotion, on the floodlit ghats of the Ganges to offer their prayers to the Supreme Being. This ghat Har-ki-pauri is named after the charan or footprints of Hari (Vishnu) impressed on a stone set into the upper wall of the ghat.
