Haridwar follows the North Indian purnimanta calendar, and many visitors time their Ganga snan by the Panchang, especially on Purnima, Amavasya and Sankranti.
Well-known temples: Har Ki Pauri (Brahma Kund), Mansa Devi Temple, Chandi Devi Temple, Maya Devi Temple.
The Ganga Aarti at Har Ki Pauri is held every evening at sunset, the Kanwar Yatra brings pilgrims in Shravana, and Haridwar hosts the Kumbh and Ardh Kumbh Melas.
Rahu Kalam is a period of about 90 minutes each day that Hindu tradition considers unsuitable for starting new work. It is one of eight equal parts of the daytime, and its position depends on the weekday.
They are other daily periods traditionally avoided for new beginnings. Yamaganda and Gulika are also one eighth of the daytime each, and Durmuhurtam is one or two short muhurtas that vary by weekday.
