Following the annual 18-day closure of the Ganges Canal in Haridwar, thousands of people have descended upon the dry canal to search for treasure. At several ghats, including Har Ki Pauri, people spend up to eight hours searching for coins, gold, silver, and other metals. With luck, they might even find precious jewelry.
