I recently visited Haridwar. It is considered one of the most sacred
places. People from all over come to wash away their sins it is nearly 250
kms. From Delhi. You can also attend the aarti that usually is scheduled to
take place in the evening or early morning. People consider that by taking a
bath in this Ganga water people get a chance to wash away their sins, this
place is always flooded with people irrespective of the seasons.
Another place that is very close by to Haridwar is Mansa Devi. People carry
water from the Ganges to their homes because it is considered to be very
pure. I think a traveler should visit this destination because this place
serves the best example for unity in diversity since you can find here
people from all places irrespective of there backgrounds.
