Har Ki Pauri
Har ki Pauri is like the epicentre of any Haridwar tour itinerary. This is the major river ghat on the Ganga which flows through Haridwar. The city of Haridwar has over 100 ghats, but none is as spiritual and religious as Har ki Pauri. The Sandhya Aarti (evening Aarti) at Har ki Pauri is a huge celebration of River Ganga. But even more spiritual is the holy dip, which is said to purify your body and soul of the sins you have committed in the past. The upcoming Ardh Kumbh Mela in Haridwar is a major religious event that includes a visit to Har ki Pauri.
Har ki Pauri – The Sacred Heart of Haridwar
Though it is just a river ghat on the Ganga, Har ki Pauri has immense spiritual significance. It is at Har ki Pauri that drops of divine nectar fell from the heavens during Samudra Manthan. The exact spot where these drops fell is known as Brahmakund, and it is an area within Har ki Pauri. The very name Har ki Pauri has spiritual roots, and it means “Feet of Vishnu”. Har ki Pauri is where the main events will take place during upcoming kumbh mela in Haridwar. Thousands of devotees converge here and bathe in the holy waters of the Ganga to purify themselves. They perform various religious rituals and sing Aarti for Ganga.
