About Har ki Pauri –
Haridwar is the blessed land of Saints, Rishis, and Munis. Also known as Dev Bhoomi because it is said all the Devi – Devtas live in Haridwar. This is the city of Ashrams, Temples, sacred spots, and above all – the Soul of Haridwar – The mighty Ganga River or Maa Ganga – the flag bearer and symbol of Purity. There are not enough words to describe the Ganga River. It is not only the soul of Haridwar but of India and Sanatan Dharma as well.
There are numerous bathing ghats on the banks of the Ganga River in Haridwar, each with its own religious significance. Among them, the most important is Har ki Pauri Ghat. This is believed to be the exact place where the Ganga River meets the plains after its journey from Gangotri (Gaumukh Glacier), almost 300 km further up in the mountains.
Brahma Kund in Har ki Pauri is the area where the iconic evening Aarti takes place. The Ghat was built by King Vikramaditya in the first century BCE. It is also the spot where a drop of Amrit fell after Samudra Manthan. There are several temples on the steps, mostly built in the 19th century.
