Haridwar also known as Haradwar The sacred land for devotees of Hara &Hari, a pilgrimage for admirer of Maa Ganga.

Haridwar is among the seven most sacred Tirthas mentioned in our Puranas

अयोध्या मथुरा माया काशी कांची अवंतिका।
पुरी द्वारावती चैव सप्तैता मोक्षदायिका

The name of Haridwar in ancient time was Mayapur. There was a temple of Mayadevi near the city.
But later the temple was destroyed and the name of the city has changed to Haridwar by the course of time.
According to Skandha ,Padma & Shiva Purana Trideva Brahama ,Vishnu & Mahesha

Stay together here at Haridwar.
Lord Bhahma had greeted Maa Ganga at this place after her Dharaqatarana at a place named BHRAMHAKUNDA.
Footsteps of Shi Hari Vishnu is found in "Shrihari Kund" of "Har ki Pauri". Har ki Pauri is the most important Ghat of Haridwar

During Samudra Manthan there was a fierce war between Devata & Danava. To protect the Amrita Kalasa Garuda ran away with the Amrit Kalasa. At that time few drops of Amrita fell on the earth at 4 places like Prayag,Ujjain,Nashik & Haridwar. At this 4 place Kumba Melas r organized

since time immemorial .
So Haridwar is also a Venue of Kumbh Mela.
This is the Door way to Sacred Tirtha like Kedarnath & Badrinath
Haridwar is not only famous for Tridev but also for Arjuna & Bheema in Mahabharata
During Angnyatabasa Arjuna got married to Naga Kanya Ulupi here

The place where Bheema had sat on his knee to take the sacred dip in Ganga is known as "Bheemgoda"

This land is sanctified by the touch of footsteps of thousands of Muni Rishi ,Devata ,Mahapurusa which main attraction is the Patitapawani,Punyatoya ,Himawanta Nandini Maa Ganga
