Ghats in Haridwar
The Hindus believe that a holy bath into the sacred water of the Ganga achieves "Moksha". During the battle for nectar between Lords and Demons, a few drops of nectar fell down on the Earth at four places. These sites are known as Haridwar, Allahabad, Nasik, and Ujjain.
Since then it is the belief of the Hindu followers that the 42 Day of the Kumbh Mela these rivers changed into Amrit. This is the place of the famous ghat on the banks of the Ganges in Haridwar.
