Haridwar is an ancient city situated in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand on the banks of the holy river Ganga and is a land of legends and myths. It is considered to be one of the sacred places to visit in India and is the gateway to the Char Dham trek comprising Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri. Beautifully nestled in the heart of Uttarakhand, the city houses popular temples and shrines, which are thronged by a profusion of pilgrims from all over the country who flock here to take a dip in the holy river and get rid of all the paap and achieve absolution and blissfulness. Over time, the city has evolved from being a mere religious destination to a multifaceted cultural and spiritual center, and only after exploring Haridwar will you realize that there is a lot more to explore in the city than just visiting temples and taking a dip in the holy Har ki Pauri.
Haridwar is the most prominent pilgrimage in Hinduism and hence the temples in Haridwar are highly revered across India. Haridwar has an abundance of temples and ancient shrines dedicated to various gods and goddesses, and most of these sacred places are perched on hilltops and offer stunning panoramic views of the entire city. The ancient city is also known for being one of the four sites for the Kumbh Mela, the largest peace assemblage that is spread over a period of five weeks and draws millions of devotees once every 12 years. Haridwar will be hosting the massive religious gathering in 2021.
