"Among the many pilgrimages that dot the length of the Ganga, Haridwar ranks among the most holy in the land " -- a saying from Puranas
Legend has it that the ancestors of Raja Bhagirath, were consumed by fire at this spot following a curse of Rishi Kapil. For their salvation Raja Bhagirath requested the Ganga (Ganges) to descend on Earth. Haridwar is also famous by the names of Gangadwar, Mokshadwar, Tapovan and Mayapuri. The Kumbh and the Ardh Kumbh melas also take place here every 12 th & 6th year.
Rishikesh is one of the most popular pilgrim centres and gateway to the Himalayan Shrines of Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri. The Yoga Centres of Rishikesh have enhanced the significance of the place. From this point on, the great Ganges leaves behind her mountain home and enters the vast plains of Northern India.
