Har Ki Pauri Ghat
Har Ki Pauri is a revered ghat on the banks of the Ganga River in Haridwar, Uttarakhand. It is believed to be the precise spot where the Ganga leaves the mountains and enters the plains.
The name Har Ki Pauri translates to "Steps of Lord Vishnu", and legend has it that Lord Vishnu's footprint is imprinted on a stone at the ghat. The ghat is famous for its daily Ganga Aarti, a mesmerizing ritual where priests perform prayers with fire lamps, accompanied by chants and devotional songs.
Thousands of devotees gather here to witness the ceremony and offer floating diyas in the river as a symbol of their prayers. Har Ki Pauri is also a significant site during the Kumbh Mela, a grand Hindu festival held every 12 years, attracting millions of pilgrims from across the world.
The ghat remains open 24/7, allowing visitors to take a holy dip in the Ganga, which is believed to wash away sins and purify the soul.
