Beginning of the Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat in Rishikesh.


Rishikesh the Gateway to the Himalayas in the Tehri-Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. In the evening, you will proceed to Triveni Ghat to view the illuminated Ganga Aarti. It is the most important places for religious ceremonies in Rishikesh. Barefoot, ranks of devotees sit in rows on the steps of the Ghat. As the sun begins to set, plating the river with gold, bells and gongs ring and chants fill the air. Rows of religious celebrants hold plates of flaming ghee, moving them in a circular salutation to the Goddess of the River. This is a sacred bathing spot on the bank of the river Ganga where devotees take holy dips and offer prayers.
