Haridwar is a pilgrimage city in the Haridwar District of Uttarakhand, India. The River Ganges, after flowing for 253 kilometres (157 miles) from its source at Gaumukh at the edge of the Gangotri Glacier, enters the Indo-Gangetic Plains of North India for the first time at Haridwar, which gave the city its ancient name, Gangadwára.
It is believed drops of the nectar churned out from the world-ocean fell at four places - Hardwar, Prayag (Allahabad), Ujjain and Nashik. Haridwar is situated on the right side of the bank of the holy Ganga, and is the point where the river spreads over the northern plains. Associated with both Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu, Haridwar is among the seven sacred cities of India. It is also one of the four venues for the Kumbh Mela, held in its magnitude every twelve years.
Haridwar is the gateway to the four pilgrimages of Uttarakhand (Gangotri, Yamunotri, Badrinath and Kedarnath).
