THE UNTOLD STORY OF HARIDWAR

THE UNTOLD STORY OF HARIDWAR



 Its early in the morning the morning sun rises above with a spark in it. This is the very next day when we reached all the way from Delhi to Haridwar. After an almost 5 h 30 min journey we reached our destination. 

 We stayed just near about the Haridwar railway station. There are a lot of hotels and eatery available nearest to the railway station which can easily suit your pocket. 

Its the month of  november a morning with a little cold in the climate. We rushed to one of the ghats nearest to the station for taking a traditonal ritualistic dip with mantras in the holy river Ganga. This city was as named up on the river as this has a very traditional importance as per the Hindu sastras. It was previously termed as Gangadwara.
The e-rikshaw charged around Rs.20/person from Haridwar railway station to reach me Bharat mata mandir ghat. I recommend not to take rikshaws or autos from inside the railway station stand. As they can charge as high charge as Rs 100-200 even. I recommend  bargain is a must when ever you travel in public transport in side the city.

After a deep bath in the holy river we performed the Ganga Aradhna. As the above picture was captured by won cell phone. 

You can see the shiv linga beside me seems just floating in river Ganga. This was the morning sun shine in the holly atmosphere then we proceeded to our next destination after having a chunk of breakfast at a nearest eatery. 

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES....
