Kainchi Dham — where Neem Karoli Baba sat

The road to Kainchi Dham passes through two hairpin bends in the mountains above Bhowali — kainchi in Hindi means scissors, and the name describes the shape of the road at this point. Then the valley opens slightly, the Kosi river appears below, and through the trees you see the ashram walls.Neem Karoli Baba — Maharaj-ji to his devotees — chose this site in 1964. He is said to have sat at the roadside at these bends for years, in meditation, before the ashram was built. The story of how the ashram came to exist is the kind of story his life is full of: a group of devotees were taking him to Nainital by car. He asked them to stop at this particular bend. He sat for a while. He said to build a temple here. The Hanuman mandir was built. The ashram grew around it.

Why Choose This Haridwar Kumbh with Kainchi Dham ?

The Haridwar Kumbh with Kainchi Dham — 2 Nights / 3 Days — starts at Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar, where the Ganga reaches the plains and the Kumbh Mela draws pilgrims from across India for the most sacred bathing ritual in Hinduism. And it ends — or begins — in the Kumaon hills at the ashram where a blanket-wrapped saint from Uttar Pradesh demonstrated, to anyone who came to him, that the thing they were looking for was already there. Private AC vehicle. Three days.

Jai Maharaj-ji.
