This religious town is one of the holiest places for Hindus. It is a place where the Ganges River leaves the mountain and flows downstream. Haridwar is one of the places in India that organises the Kumbha Mela, Ardh Kumbh Mela, and Maha Kumbh Mela that is held every 3, 6 and 12 years respectively.
The Kumbha Mela is known as Intangible Cultural Heritage, by UNESCO, and is considered as the world's largest religious human gathering. This festival is celebrated across three months and millions of men, women, and religious figures assemble to take a dip in the river. The air resonates with chants and melodies, making every muscle ripple with excitement and reverence.
