'Srinagar to Aizawl' - Haridwar - Bhimgoda Barrage, Neeleshwar Mahadev Mandir, Gauri Shankar Mandir

The Bhimgoda Barrage is a significant hydraulic structure located on the Ganges River in Haridwar. It is named after Bhima, one of the five Pandava brothers from the Mahabharata. The barrage plays a crucial role in regulating the flow of the Ganges and directing water into the Upper Ganga Canal for irrigation and power generation. It is also a vital source of hydroelectric power and supports the water distribution system across northern India. Beyond its functional importance, the barrage has also become a popular tourist attraction due to its serene surroundings and its proximity to other sacred landmarks in Haridwar. Neeleshwar Mahadev Mandir is a lesser-known yet spiritually significant temple dedicated to Lord Shiva in Haridwar. Located near the Bhimgoda Barrage and surrounded by natural beauty, the temple is peaceful and ideal for those looking to experience a quieter, more contemplative side of the city. It is believed that the temple stands at a spot where Lord Shiva rested during his journey with Sati’s body. The name "Neeleshwar" signifies the blue-throated form of Shiva—Neelkanth—symbolizing his act of consuming poison during the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan). Gauri Shankar Mandir is another spiritually rich temple in Haridwar dedicated to Lord Shiva (Shankar) and Goddess Parvati (Gauri). Located in close proximity to Har Ki Pauri, it is a revered shrine often visited by pilgrims seeking blessings for marital harmony and family well-being. Gauri Shankar temples are traditionally symbols of divine union and love. In Haridwar, this temple draws devotees during major Hindu festivals, especially during Shivratri and Navratri.
