Explanation:

Haridwar, regarded as one of the most holy city for Hindus, is considered to be the doorstep for heaven. A bath in the holy Ganges is believed to wash away your sins and purify oneself. According to the belief, drops of elixir were spilled over in the waters of Haridwar. Other places where the drops were spilled were Ujjain, Prayag and Nashik. This is the reason why Kumbh is celebrated at these places. Har Ki Pauri Ghat is the most sacred ghat where the drops of elixir fell in Haridwar.
