Kashmir-Suchat Singh. It is a 3 kms, trek from Chandighat. Legend has it
that the army chief Chanda-Munda of a local demon King Shumbh-Nishumbha
was killed by goddess Chandi here after which the place got the name
Chandi Devi. It is believed that the main statue was established by the
Adi
brother
Bhartrihari. It is believed that Bhartrihari eventually came to Haridwar
to meditate by the banks of holy Ganga. When he died, his brother constructed a
Ghat in his name which later came to be known as Har-Ki-Pairi. This sacred
bathing ghat is also known as Brahmakund. The reflection of golden hues of
floral diyas in the river Ganga is the most enchanting sight in the twilight
during the Ganga Arti ceremony.
