On the west bank of Ganges on the foot of Himalayas lies the gateway to Lord Vishnu, i.e., Haridwar. Famous for temples, bathing ghats and tanks Haridwar lies about 225 kilometers northeast of Delhi. This is the place where holy Ganges enters the plains and so is called Ganga-Dwara. One of the holy cities of India Haridwar was called as Mayapuri Kshetra in the Puranas. The Ganges, considered as the holiest river in India, is the star attraction of Haridwar. Pilgrims carry back the water from the Ganges, which they believe will remain fresh forever.
Haridwar is a place blessed by the trinity of Lord Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma and is one of the major Shaktipeeths. This is the place where people prefer taking bath on the several ghats built on the river shores. Taking bath here purifies the soul and opens the way for the ultimate freedom.
