Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat
Haridwar Road, Rishikesh, India Phone: 9634307976About
This is a once in a lifetime experience, as you see the swelling waters of river Ganga set alive by millions of twinkling leafed-lamps.After sunset, the famous Ganga Maha Aarti takes place at around 6 PM, which sees the whole stretch of Triveni Ghat come alive.Hundreds of leafed lamps float down the stream as divinity becomes the very air. You can buy these dias from the nearby stalls and be a part of the beautiful custom. It is believed that a dip at Triveni Ghat can relieve one from the sins and help them attain salvation. A gigantic idol of Lord Shiva stands tall here, and is a sight to watch for in the monsoons when it is almost half submerged in the water.
