Har-ki-Pairi Ghat Ganga Temple

Temple Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India

What to expect

Har Ki Pauri is a famous ghat on the banks of the Ganges in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India. It is a revered place and a major landmark of the holy city of Haridwar. The ghat is believed to be the exit point of the Ganges from the mountains and entry into the plains. An area within Har Ki Pauri, known as Brahmakund, is considered the most sacred and is where the evening Ganga Aarti takes place. Thousands of devotees and pilgrims flock here to take a holy dip, which is believed to wash away their sins and provide Moksha. The ghat is also the area where thousands of pilgrims converge during the Kumbha Mela, Ardh Kumbh Mela, and other festivals. The place is considered very auspicious, and the golden hues of floral diyas reflected in the river Ganges present a spectacular sight during the evening Aarti
