Har Ki Pauri
Also known as Har-ki-Pauri, Brahma Kund
Har Ki Pauri means "the steps of Vishnu". It is the busiest ghat in Haridwar: the Brahma Kund here is where the Kumbh and Ardh Kumbh snan (holy dip) happens, and the evening Ganga Aarti draws a crowd that fills the whole ghat. Pilgrims come for a dip at sunrise, for the aarti after sunset, and to walk the bazaar that runs along the river. It is walking distance from Haridwar Junction, so most people stay right here and walk to the ghat.
- Brahma Kund - the snan ghat of the Kumbh and Ardh Kumbh
- Evening Ganga Aarti, held on the ghat steps at dusk
- Sunrise dip in the Ganga
- Riverside bazaar, walkable from Haridwar Junction
