In the scriptures, Haridwar has been variously mentioned as Kapilasthana, Gangadwara[9] and Mayapuri. It is also an entry point to the Char Dham (the four main centres of pilgrimage in Uttarakhand vizBadrinathKedarnathGangotri, and Yamunotri), hence, Shaivaites (followers of Lord Shiva) and Vaishnavites (followers of Lord Vishnu) call this place Hardwar and Haridwar respectively, corresponding to Hara being Shiv and Hari being Vishnu.
