Shivaratri Celebration at Haridwar
Sightseeing in India picture - When I visited Haridwar, a holy city near Rishikesh, it was just a couple of days before Shivaratri so thousands of people thronged the ghats with these offering baskets. Haridwar is one of the four sites of the triennial Kumbh Mela which is attended by tens of millions of people.
