Visits of 2013 revisited - 8

It was my second meeting in 2013 with the mighty and majestic Ganges. Haridwar is the place, where the Ganges enters the plains of Uttar Pradesh - that sight and setting is really divine. We drove back from Mussoorie via Dehradoon and stopped in Haridwar for a while. 

Three days later, the mighty Ganges came even more heavily than the usual stream and washed away the entire landscape we admired on our way back. That incident is now known as The Uttarakhand Tragedy of 2013. Nature's forces are life-giver and life-taker at will. Our respect for them increased manifold that day.
