Nowhere
in our Akhanda Bharat that one can see the spectale of glory of
Hinduism as in Haridwar. Here one can observe theism in motion and
observance of ritualistic worship in its pristine purity. It is the
permanent seat of all the highest divinities, and the temples built
in and around the holy river Ganges, house every worshipful god
adorning the Hindu pantheon. Though Vaishnavate name it bears -
Haridwar means the gateway to Hari's Vaikuntha, it contains several
temples dedicated to Sakti, Siva, Hanuma, Brahma etc. Among the
Saivate temples, mention must be made of Bilkeswara Mahadev temple,
Shravannath Mandir, and Dakshineswar Mahadev Mandir, although the
images of Siva, or portraits of Siva and Parvathi are properly
installed and worshipped in almost all the temples dedicated to
Vishnu or Sakthi. Ley uys visit ancient temploes on after
another.
