RISHIKESH
The Fount of Arsha Samskriti 

PARAMARTA NIKETAN

It is built on the left bank of the Ganges and can be reached by boats, or by the suspension bridge added recently, beginning right in front of the Sivananda Asram. As this is built at the foot of hills, it enjoys cool mountain breeze. It enthralls the pilgrims with scores of little shrines and niches adorned with almost all Gods adorning Hindus Pantheon. Most of them are made of white marble, and their huge sizes, pompous dress and enticing decoration transport the viewers for a while to other world. Their enchantment detains them for long. This also provides accommodation at very cheap rates. It feeds several hundreds of Sadhus every day.
