About Har Ki Pauri

Har Ki Pauri is a sacred ghat on the banks of the Ganges River in the Hindu holy city of Haridwar, in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. It is believed to be the place where the Ganges leaves the mountains and enters the plains. Vishnu is believed to have visited the Brahmakund in Har Ki Pauri in the Vedic times. The name Har Ki Pauri translates to "the feet of Vishnu" (Hari). Har Ki Pauri is also an important pilgrimage site for religious festivals like the Kumbha Mela, which takes place every twelve years, the Ardh Kumbh Mela, which takes place every six years and the Punjabi festival of Vaisakhi, a harvest festival that occurs every April. The ghat is located on the west bank of Ganga canal through which the Ganga is diverted just to the north.
