A religious trip to the river Ganga

in Worldmappinlast year

In my opinion there are only two types of places. The first is a 'religious place' where we go to feel our faith and belief alive and the second is a 'tourist destination' where we refresh ourselves from our daily routine. In the previous post, you read how two friends reach a 'tourist destination' so that they can regain the energy they had lost for several weeks by spending a night on the river bank.

And today we will talk about the religious journey which we did the next day after camping.
Haridwar is situated on the border of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Haridwar literally means “door to God”. To fulfill this literal meaning, people of India come here in large numbers and take a ‘holy Ganga bath’. According to historical beliefs, if the ashes of a deceased person are immersed in the Ganges flowing in Haridwar, then the soul of the deceased person reaches heaven. That is why Hindus bring the bones of their relatives here.
