RISHIKESH
The Fount of Arsha Samskriti 

As this place-Rishikesh serves, as it were, the base for going to the Himalayan abodes of Gods, like Badarinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri & Yamunotri etc., it is transformed itself into a commercial centre, catering to all the needs of people. As it is the only town at the foot of Himalayas doing whole sale business in food grains and other essential commodities, it is striving and helping the people living in the mountainous regions of Tehri and Garhwal districts. Rishikesh boasts of a world famous Yoga Centre, and in fact it has raised its reputation to an enviable degree. This centre offers specialized teaching in yoga, and hence foreigners are vying with Indian students in joining and mastering yoga. It also imparts lessons on meditation along with yoga.
