 We are all leaving for two most important Holy Places for our Hindu brothers and sisters,,,,millions of people visit these two places....it is frequented by many people...you can see the faith of the simple people who come here....it is the river Ganges that flows and for our Hindu brothers it is the Holy river in which they take holy dip or bath...it is a beautiful place surrounded by hills...

 We left our friary of `st. Francis at 8am soon after the breakfast....both birthday babies sitting together...

 This is Rishikesh.....lovely place..


 You really for in love and you begin to pray ....an ideal place for meditation and prayer....many Holy men and women live here on the bank of the river....praying and meditating...

 It is a strong temptation....to be photographed against this beautiful background

 All major superiors were excited to have a look at the water....clean....it is coming from the Himalayas...

 All along the river bank there are monasteries....and Hindu centers of religion and philosophy
