Haridwar
is considered as the gateway to the four
pilgrimages in the Uttrakhand region,

the plains with Hardwar being the first
major town on the plains. Though the Ganges
does not lose its rapids completely nevertheless

river shores. It is said that taking bath
here purifies the soul and opens the way
for the ultimate freedom, Nirvana.
