The city's location on the banks of the Ganga defines its entire existence. The ghats (stone steps leading to the river) are the center of all activity. The most famous is Har Ki Pauri (Footsteps of the Lord), believed to be the precise spot where the amrita fell. Every evening, the Ganga Aarti performed here is a spectacular sight of fire, chant, and devotion, drawing thousands. The river at this point is considered especially pure and powerful as it has just descended from the Himalayas. The city is also home to numerous ancient temples and ashrams where people study scripture, yoga, and meditation. The air itself feels different—filled with the scent of incense and the sound of temple bells. So, to be situated in Haridwar is to be situated at the very heart of Hindu spiritual practice.

Also note that global events like interest rate hikes in the US or recession fears in Europe hit IT stocks hard, because clients cut down on outsourcing budgets. That’s why TCS and Infosys often move in sync.
