Cool or depressing? You decide.

'Haridwar is like the Mecca for Hindus,' Sagar said. 'Every Hindu will go to Haridwar at least once every year.'

According to him, the spiritual aura of Haridwar will entice visitors to the park.

'Most tourists take a dip in the Ganga, eat vegetarian food when they are in Haridwar,' he said. 'When they are already in that spiritual frame of mind, they are more likely to spend a whole day and immerse themselves in educating themselves and their children about the story of Ganga and Indian mythology.'

The entrance ticket is priced to make it affordable for an average Indian family, at about 35 Indian rupees, which is less than one dollar.

Once inside the park, the visitors will have the option of purchasing spiritual merchandize and hopping on high tech rides for an extra charge, said Sagar.

'We are targeting the ticket price at someone who earns about 1,500 rupees (about $30) a month,' said Sagar. 'Some of the more expensive rides are priced separately, but you get most of the stuff in the 35 rupees ticket.'
