Ganga Aarti ar Rishikesh

 The Ganges has always fascinated me for standing on its bank I feel a connect to our civilization from the past to the present and time really stands still. I was lucky to have participated in the Ganga arti at Rishikesh on 18th April, 2017. It is a beautiful ritual with a lot of singing of bhajans and I could see a large number of foreign nationals enjoying every moment of the prayers by even dancing. I found this prayer more interesting than the one in Haridwar where only a priest comes and does the pooja but here there was the participation of the people at large and the pooja  Aarti (lights) were circulated to the people present.
