Haridwar Tour Package From Delhi
Har Ki Pauri is the sacred site within Haridwar. It means "steps of the almighty Shiva" and was built in the first century by a king in honor of his deceased brother, who always went to that area of the river to meditate. We went to the night to see the Aarti ceremony, the main attraction to see in Haridwar, and we have seen how little by little the ghat was filling up with people. So many people, who have had to build a canal and an islet connected by bridges from which to see this show.
The ceremony that takes place on the river is about offerings to the Mother Ganga (as the Ganga River is said): flowers that are thrown into the river with a candle in them in honor of the ancestors. Songs, live music, who lead the ceremony dressed in white and with seashells and artifacts with a burning fire that revolve everywhere, some colored powders that are thrown into the river.
Both when entering the area of the Clock Tower, and when watching the ceremony, you will see that there are people collecting donations in exchange for a receipt. It is not mandatory, it is a donation at will, it is up to each one to give or not. Then there are other characters asking for donations; these are trout.
The sacred city of Hinduism, given that the Ganga passes by and every day thousands and thousands of faithful approach the ceremony that is held at the edge of the river. Also, it is sacred because of its history within religion since there Vishnu dropped celestial nectar and left behind the footprint of one foot.
You can stay in the area where there are more hotels near the train station, but it will take time to find a place where the value is reasonable. While walking along the river towards the Har Ki Pauri, a sacred ghat situated near Clock Tower. And the Aarti ceremony is done at night, the area of the hotels leaves much to be desired.
The magical Ganga Aarti ceremony in Haridwar is wonderful. The oil lamps light up, and the immense flames of fire rise in the air, moving clockwise. While the priests, dressed in the dhoti-kurta, make offerings to the gods amid the songs, on the banks of river Ganga. A spectacular view, which attracts hundreds of devout and curious tourists, to assemble on the flights of stairs to the banks of the river. And see how prayers are offered during the 'Ganga Aarti' ritual, performed every day at dawn and dusk.
The atmosphere in Har-ki-Pauri, which means "feet of the Lord," in Haridwar, is surprising. Every night, the bells in the ghat temples begin to ring. The priests take positions along the river, carrying their oil lamps and reciting the mantras that fill the atmosphere with special energy, to the rhythm of the flowing river of the Ganga strongly in front of them. People light small diyas (lamps), which float on water, offer flowers, and invoke the almighty. If you wish, you can organize a bid or personal offering.
The Ganga Aarti that takes place in the Parmarth Niketan Ashram is one of the best known in Rishikesh. What makes it a different experience is that, instead of priests, it is the inhabitants of Ashram who study the Vedas and who are responsible for performing the Aarti at dusk. As the sun goes down, the spiritual songs begin to be heard. Then the hawan or sacred ritual takes place where offerings are made to the god of fire, then the Aarti begins on the banks of the Ganga River. Be sure to arrive early to have a seat near all the action.
It is surrounded by the irresistible beauty of nature and blessed with a rich holy and religious heritage. Haridwar assures you of serene and divine surroundings that will reactivate and revitalize all your senses.
