Haridwar, situated on the right bank of the Ganges river, is a city and municipal corporation in the Haridwar district of Uttarakhand, India. As the second-largest city in Uttarakhand, the city resonates its spiritual importance with the hosting of the Kumbha Mela, a religious event of grand scale attracting millions of devotees every 12 years.

Religious pilgrims and tourists from across the globe inundate Haridwar's banks to immerse themselves in the ritualistic bathing ceremonies, believed to cleanse their soul. Hallowed by the divine incident where the elixir of immortality was spilled, Brahma Kund, is Haridwar's most sanctified ghat. This spiritual city also holds a central position in the Kanwar pilgrimage, bringing together devotees who carry sacred Ganges water to be offered in various Shiva shrines.

The name Haridwar translates to "The Gateway to Vishnu"; it is the starting point for pilgrims visiting the temple of Badrinath. The city experiences steadfast development beyond its religious significance, with burgeoning industrial estates and townships adding to its diversity. The city has two spellings: Haridwar and Hardwar, each carrying its unique connotation.
