One of the most blessed cities in India, Rishikesh is not
just known for its spiritual connection but also for its lovely landscape.
Rishikesh is well-known for its ashrams on the banks of Ganga, at many such
ashrams yoga is committed and taught regularly. About 245 kms from Delhi and 43
kms from Dehradun, Rishikesh with an area of just over 11 sq km, lies at a
height of 365 m above the sea level. It is higher than other holy cities of
Haridwar and Varanasi, the water in Ganga here is cooler and cleaner. The flow
of the river is stronger here and the city is less occupied than others.
Rishikesh is an pleasant location not only for those who
want to delve deeper into speculation, yoga and other aspects of Hinduism. The
International yoga week (2nd Feb to 7th Feb every year) attracts visitors from
all across the world. For the adventurous tourists, Rishikesh is again the
starting point for trekking dispatches and digressions towards the Himalayas.
10 kms upriver from here is Shivpuri, the site for river running and rafting on
the roaring Ganga. Be it Triveni Ghat, Lakshman Jhoola or the Shivanand Ashram.
Often referred to as the entrance to the lofty Himalayas, Rishikesh is a passive
town located about 24 kms away from Haridwar.
The quality of Rishikesh as an
adventure tourism address is also growing steadily as the place yields legion
thrilling possibilities to the adventure tourists such as white water rafting
and trekking.
Lakshman Temple Near the bridge is the Lakshman Temple
within which is Risha Kund. According to a custom, Rama and Lakshman bathed at
this well to atone their sin of killing Ravana, who was a brahmin. In ancient
Hinduism, killing a brahmin (a member of the hieratical class) was considered
one of the biggest crimes. The ancient lawbooks assert that while the killing
of the other three classes could be expiated by paying fines, it could not be
done so in the case of the killing of a brahmin. In the vicinity of the
Lakshman Jhula exists a seven-storeyed temple. Scenes depicting the religious
and other worldly life are etched on the walls of this temple.
