HARIDWAR
The Gate Way Of Heaven

and unable to contain the cup of joy overflowing at the long parade of gala affairs mirthful or sorrowful, if you open your eyes hurriedly to see for yourself all those grand spectacles, you find yourself standing right in front of that lovely Mitriyunjaya statue, installed at the cross roads - one road taking to Kankhal, the then capital of Dakshaprajapati, and the other straight to Har-ki-Pairi, the prime centre of pilgrim attraction; the grand scene of every divinised episode; the star enticement of tourists and finally the hub of socio-religious activity.

No pilgrim centre of our akhanda Bharatha kanda, from Amarnath to Kumari, and Dwaraka to Kamkshipur boasts of such glorious place, or capable of unfolding such wide range of varied spectacles, or delighting the eyes with colourful fantasies, or regaling the soul with sublime memories, or feasting the ears with sonorous sankirthanas, or elevating the mind with intellectual discourses as this sublimes spot that recreates magnificently sublime, ostentatiously awe-inspiring scenes of the Vedic age, presided over by a Maharajadhiraja performing a horse-sacrifice, or mahayaga.
