On many auspicious occasions like marriage, people visit the city to take a bath in the sacred river Ganga. After the death, the family members take the ashes to immerse it in the holy river Ganga for the peace of soul. Here, you can explore many places and get vast knowledge in various subjects like Indian Vedic culture, yoga and even learn the Sanskrit language. So, explore the mythology, culture, temples, places to visit, things to do, places to eat, and much more about Haridwar like never before in “The Citygraphy of holy town Haridwar” People visit the place from different parts of the country and abroad. People of different ages get other enthusiasm to visit this holy place. Like an aged person would think- Oh! We are going to Ganga Maa's place, I will visit all the temples, and I will offer different offerings to God. Similarly, a young married man might want to go there to celebrate holidays with his family, as this is a great place to visit. Perhaps a picture will come in the minds of children to buy toys from Mota market in the name of going to Haridwar and view the city from Maa Mansa Devi and Maa Chandi Devi Temple. When young people make a trip towards the Himalayas, they usually make a night stay at Haridwar. People come here to visit in groups from colleges and offices. Often, people of the group first enjoy a forest safari in Rajaji National Park and then go rafting in the Rishikesh River. One thing remains common in the plan of each individual and that is to witness the evening Aarti of Goddess Ganga at Hari ki Pauri. That sound of Chanting of Mantras with temple bells
