Chota Haridwar attracts a huge crowd on special days like Purnima.
Chota Haridwar in Muradnagar, a small town located on the route from Delhi to Meerut, has become a new vacation spot for tourists.
As the temperature has been on the rise in Delhi, people all across the capital are looking to find a getaway to relieve themselves from the scorching heat. Usually, people travel to Haridwar-Rishikesh, Nainital in Uttarakhand, Manali or Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh for their summer vacations. However, these places have become quite common and tourists have flustered their way to these hotspots. Now, a new vacation spot has become quite popular for the people of Delhi, which is not as far as Manali and also goes easy on the budget.
Chota Haridwar in Muradnagar, a small town located on the route from Delhi to Meerut, has become a new vacation spot for tourists. It is located just 50 kilometres from Delhi and has been constructed out of ghats in Muradnagar. According to reports, the ghats have streams of the river Ganges that come directly from Haridwar. The place also has a huge statue of Lord Shiva in the middle, which attracts a lot of tourists. Apart from this, there are various other small temples of Lord Shiva and Lord Shani in the area, and the chants of ‘Har Har Gange’ echoing in these places provide a great experience for travellers.
Similar to Haridwar, the Ganges stream in Chota Haridwar also has provisions for ‘Ganga Snan’ (bathing). Barricading has been installed in the streams, which offers a designated area for bathing and separate ghats have been designated for women’s bathing as well. The area also has provisions for boating and people can enjoy food at restaurants and local dhabas.
Like other popular religious places, Chota Haridwar attracts a huge crowd on special days like Purnima (full moon) and other festivals. Reportedly, it has been found that some people immerse the ashes of the deceased in the stream.
