Synopsis

Har Ki Pauri, meaning the feet of Lord Vishnu (Hari), is a ghat on the banks of the river Ganga (Ganges) and landmark of the Hindu holy city of Haridwar in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. It is believed that it is the precise spot where the Ganga leaves the mountains and enters the plains. Each evening at sunset, the priests of Har ki Pauri perform the Ganga Aarti. Lights are set on the water to drift downstream and a large number of people gather on both banks of the river to sing Ganga Aarti praises.
