Soon after Haridwar we went to Rishikesh. We stayed there about 1 hour. It was a great place. You can see Laxman Jhula in the picture above where I am standing. It very peaceful place. You can connect yourself to nature very easily here There was a big temple near it. There were many tourists from foreign too.

This is the famous restaurant of Rishikesh named Chottiwala. A man sits there in front of restaurant with some funny make up. And there was a bell. He welcomed everyone with ringing the bell. We had our lunch here. It was a great feeling here. I can only say that if you are going to Haridwar then must visit Rishikesh & if you are going to Rishikesh then must visit Chottiwala restaurant.

Next morning we went to holy bath in Ganges river. We worshipped God with deep faith in heart there.  It was so nice to see the River flowing in same colour. It was like music of piano. Security was very tight there. There was a huge banner of Vodafone as shown in the picture above. It was written there “Kripya Ganga Mein Sabun Ka Prayog Na Kare”. It was good to see that they are awakening people to save the Holy river.

JOURNEY TO VAISHNOV DEVI 2010

6:42 PM | Posted by Ashish Agarwal

It was a cold morning day when we reached Jammu station. We were a group of 40 peoples. We visit there every year in groups. When we were exiting the station terminal I saw there was a huge banner in which this was written “Mandiro Ka Sahar Jammu” & then I was sure that I am in the City of Mata Ji. Then we went to Katara from there where the Mata Vaishno Devi Temple is situated. It is about 60 Km away from the main city of Jammu. We stayed at Trikuta Bhawan in Katara where we celebrated New Year on 31st Night.

We left ArdhKumari after the Darshan by 8pm. Then our next destination was Vaishno Devi Temple for Pind Darshan. It is about 7Km away from ArdhKumari. We passed our night at Vaishno Devi. Next morning we went for Darshan of Mata Vaishno. It was an awesome feeling.

Our Last destination was Darshan of Bhairav Baba. So we started our journey towards it. It is about 4 Km away from Vaishno Devi. There was an Idol of Bhairav Baba & there was a Kund of Raakh. It has its own importance, people says that without Darshan of Bhairav Baba your wish will never fullfill.

This was my experience of Vaishnov Devi. The atmosphere was amazing. I ll go to Vaishno Devi every year now.
