Har-ki-Pauri, Hari-ki-Pairi or Har-ki-Pairi

Haridwar
Har-ki-Pauri is the focal point of Haridwar. It is one of the most famous ghats where devotees gather to bathe and worship the river Goddess Ganga.

According to the Hindu mythology, this is the place where a drop of nectar fell from the churning of the oceans when the world was created.

Each evening, around 6 pm, thousands gather at Har-ki-Pauri to worship Maa Ganga by floating diyas in the river. You need to contact a Pujari to complete the rituals. Here is the details for the same.

Pt. Sanjay Marwari
Ganga Mandir, Har-ki-Pauri,
Haridwar - 249401.
Phone : 09319022466

I would suggest calling up the Pujari a day before, otherwise during the peak season they have quite a hectic schedule.
