Har Ki Pauri, the central ghat of Haridwar, is where Lord Vishnu is believed to have left his footprint and where the elixir of immortality is said to have spilt during the churning of the oceans, making it one of the most sacred places to visit in Haridwar and a key highlight of Haridwar tourism. The evening Ganga aarti, performed at sunset by temple priests with flaming brass lamps, is one of India’s most attended public rituals and one of the top things to do in Haridwar, where thousands gather on both banks, float oil lamp offerings on the river, and watch as the priests circle their lamps in unison, making it a major part of Haridwar sightseeing and Haridwar holidays.
