Hindu devotees bathe in
Holy water of
Ganga river in Har-ki-dun,
Uttarakhand. Devotees throng the banks of Ganga river in
Haridwar. They walk on
Bhagirathi Setu, a bridge over Ganga river.
Propitiously located at the
point where the
Ganges emerges from the
Himalaya, Haridwar (also called
Hardwar) is Uttarakhand’s holiest Hindu city, and pilgrims arrive here in droves to bathe in the fast-flowing Ganges. The sheer number of people gathering around Har-ki-Pairi
Ghat give Haridwar a chaotic but reverent feel.
Within the religious hierarchy of
India, Haridwar is much more significant than
Rishikesh, an hour further north, and every evening the river comes alive with flickering flames as floating offerings are released onto the Ganges.
It's especially busy during the yatra (pilgrimage) season from May to October, and is the site of the annual
Magh Mela religious festival.
Haridwar’s main street is Railway Rd, becoming Upper Rd, which runs parallel to the
Ganges canal (the river proper runs further to the east). Generally only cycle-rickshaws are allowed between Laltarao
Bridge and Bhimgoda
Jhula (Bhimgoda Bridge), so vehicles travel around the opposite bank of the river. The alleyways of
Bara Bazaar run south of Har-ki-Pairi Ghat.
