Haridwar is famous for their ghats and this is the city where the river Ganges leaves the mountains and is diverted to the north. From several ghats, 'HAR KI PAURI' is the most famous ghat in Haridwar. The main reason for that is, Lord Vishnu is believed to have visited 'Brahmakund' in 'Har Ki Pauri' in the Vedic times.

The aarti took place at sunrise and before the sunset. We suggest that you to visit 'HAR KI PAURI' around evening so you can enjoy the holy view of aarti and the prayers in the air.
