 History of Rishikesh

Rishikesh has been a part of the legendary "kedarnath". Legends state that Lord Rama did penance here for killing Ravana, the asura king of Lanka; and Lakshmana, his younger brother, crossed the river Ganges, using two jute ropes at the point where the "Lakshman Jhula" stands today. The Ganges, one of the most sacred rivers to Hindu, flows through Rishikesh. Here the river leaves the Shivalik Hills in the Himalayas and flows into the plains of northern India. Several temples, ancient and new, are along the banks of the Ganges in Rishikesh. Shatrughna Mandir, Bharat Mandir, Lakshman mandir are the ancient temples established by Adi Shankaracharya.
