MUSSORIE
with its green hills, varied flora & fauna is a fascinating hill
resort, located in the south facing slopes of foothills of the
Himalayas. It is snow-covered in winter, is leaf-green and
flower-bright in spring; balmy and dove-echoing in summer; misty and
fern filled in the monsoon; hazy blue and nostalgic in autumn.
HARIDWAR or 'the Gateway to the Gods' is one of the seven
holiest places according to Hindu mythology, as the Gods are
believed to have left their footprints here. The city also plays
host to around 25 million devotees during the Kumbh mela and around
14 million during Ardh Kumbh. The history of the Kumbh Mela dates
back to the creation of the Universe and as a show of their faith,
Hindus from all over the country assemble to take a holy dip in the
Ganges. RISHIKESH abounds in temples and visited by pilgrims on
their way to the Himalayan shrines of the Char Dham. |
