Garh Mukteshwar — literally "the Fort of Liberation" — is one of the most sacred Ganga tirthas in western Uttar Pradesh. The Skanda Purana and Brahma Purana describe this as the site where the Ganga first enters the plains in its purest Himalayan form, making its waters exceptionally potent for ancestral rites.

The Mahabharata tradition records that the Pandavas performed Shradh and Pind Daan for the Kaurava warriors at Garh Ganga after the great war. This established the site as a permanent teerth for ancestral ceremonies. The adjacent Mukteshwar Mahadev Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, adds the power of Shiva's moksha-granting grace to every Shradh performed here.

For families in Delhi-NCR, Haryana, and western UP, Garh Mukteshwar is the closest Ganga-based Shradh destination — making it practical for annual Pitrupaksha observances without the longer journey to Haridwar or Prayagraj.

• Kushavarta Ghat: This Ghat is specifically renowned and traditionally considered the most appropriate and auspicious place in Haridwar for performing Tarpan, alongside Shradh and Pind Daan.
• Har Ki Pauri: The famous Brahma Kund area within Har Ki Pauri is also a highly sacred spot where devotees perform Tarpan, often after taking a holy dip.
• Other Ghats: While the above are primary, Tarpan can also be performed at other Ghats like Vishnu Ghat, Gau Ghat, or any clean spot along the riverbank where one can face south (for Pitru Tarpan).
