Devotedly with a pure heart, who so ever comes to Rishikesh,

From Ancient Indian Epic Purana
Rishikesh has been a part of the legendary 'Kedarkhand' (the present day
Garhwal). Legends state that Lord Rama did penance here for killing
Ravana, the demon king of Lanka; and Lakshmana, his younger brother,
crossed the river Ganges, at a point, where the present 'Lakshman Jhula'
bridge stands today, using a jute rope bridge.
The 'Kedar Khand' of Skanda Purana, also mentions the existence of
Indrakund at this very point. The jute-rope bridge was replaced by
iron-rope suspension bridge in 1889, and after it was washed away in the
1924 floods, it was replaced by the present stronger bridge. Another
similar suspension bridge Ram Jhula was built in 1986 at nearby
Shivanand Nagar.
From time Immemorial Rishkesh has beed the starting point of the
chardham pilgrimage and choice of Saints & Sadhu's from all over the
word. Today Rishikesh has become the world capital of yoga & white
water adventure sports of Rafting & Kayaking & Much more .
