Sacred river Ganga flowing past the ghats of Har Ki Pauri, the spiritual heart of Haridwar.
Haridwar, one of the holiest cities in India, welcomes every traveler with the gentle roar of the Ganga and the chants that echo along its Ghats. The city breathes devotion — in every aarti flame, every drop of water, and every bridge arching over the sacred river. Through these frames, I tried to snap Haridwar’s beauty in a day through a traveler's eye.
