Review:
Beautifully situated at the point where the Ganges emerges from the Himalayas in the district of Uttarakhand, Haridwar is one of the holiest Hindu cities in the country. It is a popular locale for pilgrims as they arrive en masse to bathe around Har Ki Pauri Ghat, a famous ghat on the banks of the rapidly flowing holy Ganges. At night, the river is alight with the glow of flickering flames as the pilgrims release floating offerings onto the Ganges. Most visitors travel to Haridwar due to its religious importance, to experience the complex culture of India, participate in various Hindu rituals, and explore this ancient civilization through the temples, ashrams, historic monuments, and ghats.
