Open to first-time visitors to India and to anyone new to these practices: every ritual and practice is explained as you go.
Your journey, day by day
Day 1Arrival and Ganga Darshan
Received at Dehradun and welcomed to your DharmikStay with a herbal drink and a sankalpa for the days ahead. As dusk falls, witness the divine Ganga Aarti at Har-ki-Pauri.

Day 3Sacred Fire and Sadhana
After morning yoga, participate in a Rudrabhishek and havan with sankalpa, performed by learned priests. A Gita katha session deepens the wisdom, and the day eases into evening aarti.

A gentle sunrise practice, restorative Ayurveda therapies, and unhurried hours beside the Ganga. The evening brings a spiritual discourse and silent meditation.
Day 5Shakti Darshan and Jyotish
Darshan at the hilltop shrines of Mansa Devi and Chandi Devi. After yoga, a Jyotish consultation offers kundli and dosha guidance, and the day closes with aarti.
