Rishikesh is one of the Hindu's most religious cities. The town is quite and peaceful and filled with ashrams and Hindu pilgrims. There are Hindu temples everywhere. Each evening a religious ceremony called an Aarti is held on the banks of the Ganges River. The town has recently become the yoga center of the universe and ashrams offering yoga courses and classes are everywhere. Rishikesh has a nice slow pace with less traffic and congestion. although the streets are crowded with holy cows and of course - holy shit!
