Haridwar (Hardwar — 'Gateway to Hari') is where the sacred Ganga emerges from the Himalayas onto the plains. Har Ki Pauri ghat sees Ganga Aarti at sunrise and sunset — the timing is sacred. Haridwar is one of the four Kumbh Mela sites, drawing tens of millions of pilgrims. For every devotee taking a holy dip, knowing the exact Rahu Kaal before entering the Ganga is essential. The town's position at 78.2°E gives it a sunrise 18 minutes later than the IST average.
