Har Ki Pauri

Har Ki Pauri is a religious place in Uttarakhand state of India located in Haridwar city. This place means that Hari means the feet of God Narayan ji, but after the sectarianism with religious beliefs, when the god and the demons were fighting for the nectar, then Vishwakarma ji had taken away the nectar of their part, then some drops of nectar in the Har ki Pauri place had fallen. This place became a religious place. The drops of nectar also dropped in Haridwar’s place where it is called har ki pauri.

BharamKund भरमकुण्ड

Here is the most intense desire of every devotee who comes to Haridwar. It is believed that salvation takes place after bathing here. Har ki pauri ghat or Bharmakund holy place is the main corridor of Haridwar. It is believed that this is the place where Ganga falls in the plains except in the mountains.

यहां हरिद्वार आने वाले हर भक्त की सबसे तीव्र इच्छा होती है। मान्यता है कि यहां स्नान करने से मोक्ष की प्राप्ति होती है। हर की पौड़ी घाट या भरमाकुंड पवित्र स्थान हरिद्वार का मुख्य गलियारा है। ऐसा माना जाता है कि यह वह स्थान है जहां पहाड़ों को छोड़कर मैदानी इलाकों में गंगा गिरती है।

This place has the power to wash the sins in the river. This Ghat is on the west bank of the river Ganga, from where the river flows from the north direction. After all the sun shadows, the entire ascetic Ganga is doing aarti. At the time of Ganga Aarti, water in the river is completely bathed in light.

इस स्थान में नदी में पाप धोने की शक्ति है। यह घाट गंगा नदी के पश्चिमी तट पर है, जहाँ से नदी उत्तर दिशा से बहती है। सभी सूर्य अस्त होने के बाद सभी तपस्वी गंगा आरती करते हैं। गंगा आरती के समय नदी में पानी पूरी तरह से रोशनी में नहा जाता है।

How did BharamKund get its name?

Dharma Nagri Haridwar is called the gate of salvation, whose history is very ancient. There are many such kunds in India that are said to be cut off from all human baths, but the best of all these kunds is called Bharmakunda.

धर्म नगरी हरिद्वार को मोक्ष का द्वार कहा जाता है, जिसका इतिहास अत्यंत प्राचीन है। भारत में कई ऐसे कुंड हैं जिनके बारे में कहा जाता है कि ये सभी मानव स्नान से कटे हुए हैं, लेकिन इन सभी कुंडों में से सर्वश्रेष्ठ भरमाकुंड को कहा जाता है।

Some of these nectar drops were dried. Out of which there is a flow of mother Ganges. When the water of Goddess Ganga passes through Har ki pauri or Bharamkund, it is filled with extremely miraculous properties and bathing in it benefits for mental and physical expansion, which cannot be told about it.

इनमें से कुछ अमृत की बूंदें सूख गईं। जिसमें से मां गंगा का प्रवाह होता है। जब देवी गंगा का जल हर की पौड़ी या भरमकुंड से होकर गुजरता है, तो यह अत्यंत चमत्कारी गुणों से भरा होता है और इसमें स्नान करने से मानसिक और शारीरिक विस्तार में लाभ होता है, जिसके बारे में बताया नहीं जा सकता।

How did Har ki Pauri name

In this place, there is the power to wash the sin in the Ganges River and in this stone there is also the stone symbol of Shri Hari, Which seems like a divinity in itself. Speaking about the glory and characteristics of Har ki Pauri, it is said that Lord Hari also came to this place and there were signs of his feet, hence the name was kept in Har ki Pauri.

इस स्थान पर गंगा नदी में पाप धोने की शक्ति है और इस पत्थर में श्री हरि का पत्थर का प्रतीक भी है, जो अपने आप में एक देवत्व की तरह प्रतीत होता है। हर की पौड़ी की महिमा और विशेषताओं के बारे में कहा जाता है कि भगवान हरि भी इस स्थान पर आए थे और उनके पैरों के निशान थे, इसलिए नाम हर की पौड़ी में रखा गया था।

However, bathing in the Ganges is considered as salvation, but since ancient times, it is believed that bathing here sin is washed away.

वैसे तो गंगा में स्नान को मोक्ष के रूप में माना जाता है, लेकिन प्राचीन काल से यह माना जाता है कि यहां स्नान करने से पाप धुल जाते हैं।

History

This sacred gorge was built by King Vikramaditya in the memory of his brother Bharthari in the first century BC. Bharthari came to Haridwar and performed penance on the banks of the holy Ganga, when Bharthari died, the king built it in the memory of his brother which later came to be known as Har Ki Pauri. During the Samudra Manthan, when Indar was taking the nectar from the gods and demons, drops of nectar bounced from the urn and fell on the earth, making the place of religious significance. Lord Vishnu and Shiva themselves appeared here. After washing away the sins in Har Ki Pauri, the devotees participate in special programs like Mundan etc.

पहली शताब्दी ईसा पूर्व में अपने भाई भरथरी की याद में राजा विक्रमादित्य ने इस पवित्र कण्ठ को बनाया था। भरथरी हरिद्वार आए थे और पावन गंगा के घाट पर तपस्या की , जब भरथरी की मृत्यु हो गई, तब राजा ने अपने भाई की याद में बनाया था जो बाद में हर की पौड़ी के नाम से जाना जाने लगा। समुद्र मंथन के दौरान, देवताओं और राक्षसों से अमृत को इंद्र ले रहे थे, तब कलश से अमृत की बूँदें उछलीं और पृथ्वी पर गिरीं, जिससे यह स्थान धार्मिक महत्वपूर्ण हो गया। यहाँ पर भगवान विष्णु और शिव स्वयं प्रकट हुए थे। पाप को हर की पौड़ी में धो देने पर भक्त विशेष कार्यक्रमों जैसे मुंडन आदि में भाग लेते हैं।

Kumbh Mela

After every 12 years, a Kumbh Mela is organized here. It is also said that there is nectar flow in the water of the Ganges at this time. At this time a lot of devotees come to the bath in the Ganges. Thousands of devotees come to this Kumbh mela. Consequently, The police are stationed to control the crowd because of which sometimes, Kumbh Melas are organized to do well.

यहां हर 12 साल बाद कुंभ मेले का आयोजन किया जाता है। यह भी कहा जाता है कि इस समय गंगा के जल में अमृत प्रवाह होता है। इस समय काफी संख्या में श्रद्धालु गंगा स्नान करने आते हैं। इस कुंभ मेले में हजारों की संख्या में श्रद्धालु आते हैं। जिसके चलते भीड़ को नियंत्रित करने के लिए पुलिस तैनात है। और कभी-कभी कुंभ मेलों को अच्छा करने के लिए नया बना दिया जाता है।
