Dehradun : British royal couple, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, began their nine-day trip of India Wednesday by participating in the evening aarti ritual on the banks of the Ganges at Rishikesh in Uttarakhand.





They arrived at Jollygrant airport here in the evening and were received by Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna and British High Commissioner to India James David Bevan.

The royal couple joined in the Ganga aarti held at Parmartha Niketan Ashram for the peace of those who died in the June flash floods in the state.

"It is my first visit to the Ganges, so from that point of view it is a very special occasion for both myself and my wife," Charles said later according to a Clarence House tweet.
