Ganga heading
India's River of Life

RISHIKESH

The grey-green waters of the Ganga emerge from the Shivalik Hills and enter the plains of North India at Rishikesh. Here it is becoming calmer as it begins to spread across the expanse of the plains. Rishikesh welcomes seekers of spiritual peace, the swamis and rishis who come looking for answers to numerous religious retreats. The suspension bridge called Laxman Jhoola that spans the river is supposed to mark the spot where Laxman performed penance for a hundred years for hurting his guru. The water teems with fish which are considered sacred and come tamely up to the banks to catch the offerings of pilgrims.
