known as the 'place of sages' is Haridwar, at the confluence of the Chandrabhaga
and Ganga. It is believed that God by the name of 'Hrishikesh' had appeared
as an answer to the hard penances by Rabhiya Rishi and henceforth the place
derived its name.
It is the starting point for the Char dham pilgrims but also for the people who are interested in meditation, yoga and other aspects of Hinduism. For the adventure seekers, rishikesh is the suggested place for starting their trekking expeditions to the Himalayan peaks and for rafting. Also, International Yoga Week which attracts participation form across the world, is held here, every year, in February on the banks of the Ganga.
Rishikesh is one of the most popular pilgrim centres and gateway to the Himalayan Shrines of Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri. The Yoga Centres of Rishikesh have enhanced the significance of the place.
From this point on, the great Ganges leaves behind her mountain home and
enters the vast plains of Northern India.
