Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Rishikesh around 28 km off Haridwar is at the base of Himalaya and the place where Ganga comes down to the plains from hills. A breathtaking experience of natural beauty and undiscovered wildlife await here. Not to mention the peace and tranquility of a landscape associated with sages and meditation. According to legend, sage Raibhya Rishi undertook staunch penance at Rishikesh to please God. In answer to his meditation, god appeared here, manifested as `Rishikesh' (hairs of the sage) and the place thus came to be called after him. Today, Rishikesh has become a center for learning and research in yoga and meditation, the renowned Indian methods for mental and physical health. |
