After visiting Agra our group proceeded by bus to New Delhi, signaling the completion of the main portion of the 2012 India photo tour. Upon arrival in Delhi, we bid a sad farewell to 5 members of our group, who were heading home. The rest of us spent one night in New Delhi before catching the early train to Haridwar.<\/p>\n

Haridwar, located in the foothills of the Himalayas, near the point where the Ganga reaches the plains, is an ancient pilgrimage site, held in reverence for centuries. A visit to Haridwar is like stepping into a totally different world, and is one of my favorite photography locations in all of India. Every evening, \u201cAarti\u201d, a Hindu puja ceremony is performed on the Ganges in Haridwar. We always shoot the Aarti ceremony 2 consecutive nights, and that ended up being a great idea because we encountered a bit of rain on the first evening.<\/p>\n

After photographing Aarti, the following morning we did our usual \u201cmorning photo expedition\u201d on the streets near our hotel. It\u2019s always a pleasure to photograph in the morning, before the streets are full of pilgrims and vendors, it\u2019s the only time when things are a bit more sedate.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve decided to share black and white images of Haridwar, to continue in a tradition that I started last year. For some reason, I like the feeling of \u00a0\u201cHaridwar in black & white\u201d.\u00a0 Enjoy these 21 images.<\/p>\n
