FAQs On Ganga Aarti Sthal

Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India
Har Ki Pauri, which literally means "The Footsteps of the Lord," is the most sacred and famous ghat (a flight of steps leading to a river) on the banks of the Ganges in Haridwar. The particular spot where the evening prayer takes place is known as Brahmakund and is considered the most sanctified poi nt. According to Hindu mythology, it is believed to be the spot where a drop of Amrit (nectar of immortality) fell during the Samudra Manthan (churning of the cosmic ocean) carried by the celestial bird, Garuda. It is also believed that Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva visited this spot in the Vedic times, with a visible footprint on a stone wall being attributed to Lord Vishnu. The primary attraction is the spectacular Ganga Aarti performed every evening, a mesmerizing ritual where large oil lamps (deepams) are offered to the river Goddess Ganga by a group of priests, accompanied by rhythmic chanting and the ringing of temple bells. Taking a holy dip (Ganga Snaan) at Har Ki Pauri is considered highly auspicious, believed to wash away sins and grant Moksha (salvation). The tradition of the Ganga Aarti here was revived and popularized by Madan Mohan Malviya in 1916. The ghat is the epicenter of all religious activities in Haridwar and is the main site for the Kumbh Mela every 12 years. (Approx. 180 words)
