Itineary Detail

After a breakfast at the ashram and perhaps some yoga, we will start our day with taking part in the daily agnihortra ceremony or fire puja at the ashram. Yoga is a process of removing that which prevents us from seeing things clearly. Fire puja is one of the many aspect of this yoga tradition.

Agnihotra is a healing fire from the ancient science of Ayurveda and a ritual described in the Vedas. It is a process of purifying the atmosphere through a specially prepared fire performed at sunrise and sunset daily. The fire is prepared in a small copper pyramid of specific size and shape. A magnetic-type field is created with the agni hotra pyramid, which neutralizes negative energies and reinforces positive energies. Brown rice, herbs (samagri), dried cow dung (manure) and ghee (clarified unsalted butter) are the offerings that are burned.

Later in the morning we will head off for some local sightseeing on foot. First, we will go to Laxman Jhula and Ram Jhula and spend some time there seeing the famous places around. Built in 1986, Ram jhula is an iconic landmark of Rishikesh while Lakshman Jhula was built in 1929. It is said that Lakshman crossed the river Ganga on jute ropes in this place. On either side of river Ganga, there are many Hindu ashrams and religious centers and numerous small shops and chai shops.
