About Rishikesh

Rishikesh, also called "City of Saints" is a paradise here on earth; it is a city of sacrifice, surrender, and self-realization for all spiritual seekers and aspirants of True Wisdom. From time immemorial, this sacred place has been a source of inspiration for students of all disciplines; Rishikesh shines as a city of knowledge and enlightenment. It is said that the Great Raibhya Rishi did severe penance to please God, who appeared as "Hrishikesh", hence the name "Rishikesh".

A place of scenic beauty, Rishikesh is located in the northern state of Uttaranchal  and is  also the "Gateway to the Himalayas", surrounded by the foothills of this almighty mountain range. The perennial,  healing "Ma Ganga", Ganga River intersects the city; this is one of India's holiest rivers.

Blessed by such wonders, Rishikesh has become a haven for Yoga and Meditation practitioners from all over the world, and reigns supreme for spiritual sadhana, and the development of spiritual consciousness.

The campus of OIMT is conveniently situated; ancient temples and ashrams are all easily accessible. The spiritual vibrations and scholarly atmosphere of Rishikesh make it a natural choice for educational institutions, in particular, Omkarananda Institute of Management and Technology.
