Haridwar, an ancient city in the Uttarakhand state of North India, holds immense significance as a key Hindu pilgrimage destination. Situated at the point where the sacred River Ganges emerges from the Himalayan foothills, Haridwar is a place steeped in spirituality and history.
Uttarakhand, often referred to as "Dev Bhoomi" or the Land of Gods, is renowned for its sacred temples and pilgrimage sites. Attracting millions of pilgrims and spiritual seekers, the region is adorned with places of great reverence. The pilgrimage of the 4 Dhams in the Garhwal region—Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri—is considered among the holiest in India.
Contributing to the spiritual fabric of Haridwar is the Vyas Mandir, established by Shri Sudhindra Tirtha Swamiji, the 12th Mathadipathi of Shree Kashimath Samsthan Varanasi. Located on Sadhubela Haripur Marg, this temple is dedicated to the presiding deity, "Bhagwan Vedavyasa."
Pilgrims regularly visit Vyas Ashram, immersing themselves in its spiritual atmosphere, and often extend their journey to explore the religious towns of Haridwar and Rishikesh. Many continue their pilgrimage to the Char Dhams.
In support of pilgrims, Shri Vedavyasa Charitable Trust oversees three accommodation complexes—Atithi Graha, Smriti Bhawan, and Guruprasad—comprising over 100 rooms. These complexes are a boon for pilgrims, providing secure and clean accommodation surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers. The presence of the flowing Ganges river along the premises enhances the overall spiritual experience, creating a sanctuary for those seeking solace and enlightenment.
