North part of India, at the feet of the sacred Himalayas, is rich in various sacred sites. No wonder so many great yogis travelled here since ages to perform their spiritual practices and deepen their sadhana. Meditative atmosphere of places such as Rishikesh or Haridwar, helps us in reconnecting with our true self and the Divine within us. In North India you will specifically find many temples dedicated to the Divine Mother, as well as Shakti Peethas, or Her sacred places of power, which are also places of residence for many yogis and sadhus.
