Haridwar--One of the holiest place in Hinduism
Few days back i visited the place called Haridwar which is in the state of Uttarakhand in India.
This place has a very important significance in the history of India.
The holy River Ganges first time enter the northern plain of india from Haridwar after its origin in Gaumukh.
Haridwar is connected to other cities by Road or Train,It also has hotels to stay. My tour of Haridwar starts with "Har ki Paudi" .Har ki paudi is the Bank of River Ganga and in Hindu mythology it is associated with God "Shiva" and "Vishnu", it is also beleived that a drop of the divine elixir "Amrit" dropped here in the "Har ki Paudi"
As this is a Pilgrimage place one can see huge number of Yogis performing Yagnas and also having aarti(Prayed) to the River Ganges
There is a belief in hinduism that with a dip in the river Ganga the devotee can go to heaven by getting their Salvation.
Once you reached Haridwar there are many number of hotel you can check in.. They are not very costly and can starts with Rs 500 per room..
There are many places apart from har ki paudi that one can visit , One is the Bharat Mata Mandir..
It is located at sapt Sarovar and has different floor devoted to diferent deities..
Chandi Devi Temple is one of the temple devoted to Goddess Chandi devi
