Situated on the banks of the Ganges River, Haridwar is believed to be one of the places where the river leaves the mountains and enters the plains. The city is renowned for its ghats, especially Har Ki Pauri, where pilgrims gather to bathe in the sacred waters and attend the evening Ganga Aarti. Haridwar is a center for Hindu spirituality, with several temples and ashrams offering a place for meditation and religious rituals. The city is famous for the Kumbh Mela, a massive religious gathering that takes place every 12 years, drawing millions of pilgrims.
