when we finally landed in Ridhi bazaar after a 5 hour car trip from the indian border we were so happy. Seeing the Gandaki river forcing her way trough the big mountains makes on feel peaceful.
Ridhi Bazaar, or also known as Rishi Ksetra (place of saints) comes from the ancient believe that great sadhhus from the vedic lore has camped here and did their tapas inside the mountain caves around this place. And i tell you feeling that kind of vibe while standing on the river side looking up the big mountains makes one really tune back in history.
Also it is believed that Lord Hrishikesh (Lord Vishnu as the controller of the senses) appeared in a dream of a King to reveal his Deityform inside the riverbed. Next to the Riverbed the King built a Temple for the Lord, and up to this day nicely puja is done here.
Also it is part of one of the ancient kingdom "kushinagara" (the kingdom of Buddhas bloodline), and naturally many saints have come here to do austerity or mantra japa, as the surroundings are so suitable. See for your self...
