Situated approx 225 kms  of the north west of Delhi, Haridwar is pride of Uttarakahnd. This pious city is well connected by Train and road from all the major cities of the country. Before commencing the  the Chardham Yatra one must take a Bath at Har-Ki-Pauri, Haridwar. Taking a dip in the holy water of river Ganga whole soul and body gets purified. This place is also known as Aarti Sthal, here every morning and evening Aarti of Maa  Ganga is carried on. Ganga Aarti at the Har-ki-Pauri, Haridwar is considered as the most auspicious event.  The image of diety Ganga is beautifully decorated on the Bank and with the resonance of Jai Maa Gange the Aarti started.

  
  

  Close to Har Ki Pauri there is “Kusha vrat Ghaat”, it is also known as “Kusha Ghaat”. Even being so many rivers and places in India the Shraddh (homage to peace of soul of forefathers) at this ghat has its own importance. It is believed that performing the Shraddh at Kusha ghat during sunrise makes the Sun and River witness of the whole act to give the resting souls a divine peace. On the hill nearby Har-Ki-Pauri, Temple of Maa Mansa Devi is a place where every prayer and wish is fulfilled by the Goddess. In this fast running life no one has time for anyone and no one can find the place other than Mansa Devi Temple to open up their heart and wish. As defined from name Mansa means wish of our heart, anything that is been asked with strong belief and pure heart is certainly fulfilled by the goddess. One can also have the glimpse of this temple from Har-Ki – Pauri.
