Pawan Dham is one of the most visually striking and architecturally unique temples in Haridwar — and perhaps in all of North India. Formally known as the Pawan Dham Temple, it has earned the popular nickname "Kanch Ka Mandir" (the Glass Temple) for a reason that becomes immediately apparent the moment you step inside: every surface — walls, pillars, ceilings, archways, and even the plinths of the deities — is covered in intricate mirror and coloured glass inlay work of extraordinary precision and beauty.
The temple was founded by Swami Vedantanand Ji Maharaj and is managed by the Geeta Bhawan Trust Society. The glasswork is not merely decorative — it depicts entire episodes from Hindu scripture. Scenes from the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Bhagavad Gita (including the iconic tableau of Lord Krishna delivering the Gita Updesh to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra), the life of Lord Krishna and Balaram (including the Makhan Chori), and the descent of the Ganga (Sri Ganga Avatar) are rendered in coloured glass panels with a level of craftsmanship that takes even casual visitors by surprise.
The deities within the temple — Lord Hanuman, Lord Krishna, and various forms of the Devi — are elaborately adorned in colourful jewellery, ornate clothing, and surrounded by mirror-encrusted frames that create a dazzling, jewel-like atmosphere. Photography is permitted inside the complex, making Pawan Dham one of the most photographed temples in Haridwar.
Pawan Dham is located on the Rishikesh road in Haridwar — approximately 4 km from Haridwar Railway Station and 2.5 km from Har Ki Pauri. It is a natural addition to any Haridwar day trip from Dehradun: visit Pawan Dham in the afternoon, then head to Har Ki Pauri for the evening Ganga Aarti before returning to Dehradun.
Pawan Dham is just 50 km from Dehradun — a smooth 1 to 1.5 hour drive via the Haridwar Highway, making it one of the easiest Haridwar day trips from Dehradun.
Pawan Dham is on the Rishikesh road — perfectly placed to combine with Haridwar's main temples, ghats, and Ganga Aarti in a single day from Dehradun.
The holiest ghat in Haridwar, home to the world-famous evening Ganga Aarti. Just 2.5 km from Pawan Dham — combine a glass temple visit in the afternoon with the Ganga Aarti at sunset for a complete Haridwar experience in a single cab day from Dehradun.
One of Haridwar's three Siddhpeeths, perched atop Bilwa Parvat and accessible by ropeway. Dedicated to Goddess Mansa, who is believed to fulfill the wishes of her devotees. Sweeping views of Haridwar and the Ganga valley from the hilltop.
The second of Haridwar's Siddhpeeths, situated on Neel Parvat across the Ganga. Reachable by ropeway or a 3 km forest trek. Established by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century AD — a significant pilgrimage for devotees completing Haridwar darshan.
The third of Haridwar's Siddhpeeths and one of the oldest temples in the city, dedicated to Goddess Maya — the presiding deity of Haridwar itself. Visiting all three Siddhpeeths (Mansa Devi, Chandi Devi, Maya Devi) is considered a complete Haridwar pilgrimage.
Rishikesh is just 25 km from Haridwar on the same Rishikesh road that Pawan Dham sits on — making a Haridwar + Rishikesh twin-city day trip highly natural. Triveni Ghat, Laxman Jhula, Ram Jhula, and the yoga capital's ashrams are all easily covered.
Located in Kankhal suburb of Haridwar, this temple marks the site where Sati — Lord Shiva's consort — immolated herself after her father King Daksha insulted Shiva. One of the most historically significant Shaivite sites in Haridwar, often combined with the main ghat circuit.
