I visited Rishikesh last week with my family while travelling from the UK to Uttarakhand. What began as a holiday became deeply personal for me. Three years ago, I lost my father and I couldn’t be present for his final or annual rituals. That feeling stayed with me and I came here with a quiet wish to do something meaningful for his soul by the Ganga.
We had no prior plan, but after checking into Aloha on the Ganges, the staff connected me with Abhinavji from Namami Gange Spiritual. From our first conversation, he understood the emotion behind my request and reassured me that everything would be arranged.
The next morning at Shatrughna Ghat, he conducted the pooja with such sincerity and spiritual depth that it felt far beyond a ritual - it was a deeply moving and healing experience. The peaceful setting and the care in every detail brought me a sense of connection and closure I had been seeking for years.
Despite meeting him and his colleague for the first time, I felt completely at ease throughout.
I would highly recommend Namami Gange Spiritual to anyone seeking a meaningful and heartfelt spiritual experience in Rishikesh.
