History of Saptrishi Ashram

One of the most well-known ashrams in Haridwar is the Ashram. It was started in 1943 by Goswami Guru Dutt. According to folklore, the banks of the Ganga River were formerly home to seven great sages who practised meditation: Kashyapa, Vashisht, Atri, Vishwamitra, Jamadagni, Bharadwaja, and Gautam. Heavy river flow noises that were heard during their meditation used to bother them. The river Ganga's flow was stopped by the rishis, who divided it into seven streams to reduce noise. The Saptrishi Ashram is the location of Sapt Rishi's meditation centre and the seven streams of the Ganges known as Sapt Sarovar. Further ahead, all seven streams converge.

The Pandava brothers travelled through this location on their route to heaven. The five brothers' statues at the river bank demonstrate this. A crumbling old structure next to the current Ashram was rumoured to have been a rest stop for pilgrims making the nightly trek up the hills.
