The Sagar Group of Companies was founded in 1950 by Late Dr. Ramanand Sagar, the prolific film-maker, writer and producer who gave the world masterpieces like the Ramayana (which is estimated to have been seen by 650 million people worldwide); Shri Krishna and super hit family-oriented movies like Aankhen, Arzoo and Geet.

The Sagar “Parivar” ventured into the hospitality business in the early nineties with their flagship property called Sagar Resort in the Himalayan town of Manali in Himachal Pradesh. This was followed shortly with a heritage property, called Sagar Ganga Resort, on the banks of the Holy Ganga, in the popular pilgrimage destination Haridwar in Uttarakhand.
