Significance
: The Har-ki-pairi is the most important bathing ghat here as
it is supposed to be the precise spot where the holy river,
Ganges, leaves the mountains and enters the plains. At this
spot, it is believed that the Ganges is most sacred and hence
a dip here, completely washes away one's sins. There is a
footprint of Lord Vishnu on a stone at this ghat. Haridwar's
most important temple is the Daksha Mahadev Temple.
