Ganga River is the largest river that flows through India. It is very sacred for Hindus and they worship the river as Goddess Ganga. I am very fortunate to belong to a place very close to the city of Haridwar.
Haridwar is situated on the banks of this revered river. Every evening iconic Ganga Aarti takes place on the “Har ki Pauri” ghat of river Ganga in Haridwar. Pilgrims, local people and whosoever can afford, tries to reach the ghat by that time and participate in the Aarti. The atmosphere that gets created is beyond imagination of those who have never witnessed it.
One feels so calm, so satisfied and so close to God Almighty. People here are very helpful, cooperative and believe in strong community building to preserve the cultural heritage of this land. And they have preserved it quite well over centuries.
Worth visiting once!
