Latest Rishikesh hotel reviews
Rishikesh is primarily a town for pilgrims, rather than tourists but the photographers waiting to snap you and your pilgrim family, give the first impression of a holiday resort. The temple acolytes in their Hanuman and Lakshman costumes, along with some of the less than holy men, will happily pose for a photograph, as long as a bill is folded into their hand. The genuine Sadhus are happy for a small coin to be dropped into their bowls and don't want to be photographed. Giving to the Sadhus is the accepted custom as they are dependent on charity to help them onto the road to enlightenment. There are many temple style stalls, selling votive tablets, postcards, viewers and flashing, Hindu miniature shrines for your car but don't expect a holy dispensation for buying any of these, they're just hangars on. Spend your money by all means though; we all have to make a living by selling something or other.
