The Pauranic or epic story and Folktale tell the tale of seven great sages of ancient Bharat related to Gangadwar/Haridwar.
Seven great sages (Saptarishi) –Atri, Bhardwaj, Gautama, Jamadagni, Kashyapa, Vashistha and Vishwamitra were set to mediating near Ganges bank. All seven sages were discussing the favorable conditions for meditation. Seven sages discussed the most favorable condition silence for meditation. Ganga River was listening the discussion of seven sages for silence as one of the favorable conditions for meditation.
Ganga respected the sages and their need of meditation. Ganga thought that if she would flow like that the sages would be disturbed by her flow sound. Ganga split her into seven currents that sages are not disturbed. This place where Ganga split her into seven currents is called Saptarishi Ashram and Saptarishi Sarovar.
