Located on the banks of the Ganges River, is the ashram known as Parmarth Niketan. Like monasteries, ashrams are places for spiritual retreat. On the banks of the river, it has a 14-foot-tall statue of Lord Shiva. It offers the ideal blend of contemporary conveniences with profound spirituality with lovely gardens, sculptures, and a spiritual environment.

The Ganga Aarti, a gathering on the banks of the Ganges River where people sing bhajans and give adoration to the revered river, is the highlight of this walk. Bhajans are songs of adoration and praise that are offered to a deity.
