Haridwar, where the Ganges enters the plains from the Himalayas, is one of Hinduism's holiest cities and a Kumbh Mela host city. The Haridwar Panchang is one of the most authoritative in North India — governing Har Ki Pauri ghat bathing dates, Ganga Dussehra, and the exact astrological moment when the Kumbh Mela bathing muhurta becomes active. At 78.16°E, sunrise is about 3 minutes before Delhi.
