Haridwar is a holy city in the state of Uttranchal in Northern India. It is known as the “Gateway to the God”, Haridwar is considered one of the seven holiest places according to Hindus, as the Devas are said to have left their footprints there. The city also stands as a gateway to three other important pilgrimage destinations: Rishikesh, Badrinath, and Kedarnath. Haridwar has very rich ancient religious and cultural heritage.

It has been an abode of the weary in body, mind and spirit and a centre of attraction for learning various arts, science, and culture. A paradise for nature lovers, Haridwar presents a kaleidoscope of Indian culture and civilization. Today, it is developing beyond its religious importance, as a major industrial destination of state.
