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.
