    Ganga Aarti

    Ganga Aarti is being done every morning and evening on har ki pouri. This is being done by Ganga Sabha, a committee established by Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya, from last several decades. Nice to watch the offerings served to Maa Ganga

    Sight to behold

    For best viewing of the aarti, leave early, otherwise the place is very crowded. Beware of the punditjis who offer to conduct the aarti rituals for you at a price ofcourse.
