Can I carry alcohol for personal use in Rishikesh
I reached Rishikesh today and I am bit reluctant to ask anyone if I can bring in a bottle of whiskey from nearby area to Rishikesh for personal consumption at my apartment, is it even legal ?, I know Rishikesh is a holy place but it's still a town where people live and like to drink occasionally, I couldn't find any official orders to refer to

According to this, there are no restriction on alcohol use (except for minimum age) in the state of Uttarakhand.
Obviously, public drinking and drunkenness is probably frown upon (or will get you cited for public disturbance) and bringing alcohol in a holy place it surely not a good idea (this applies to most religions holy places)
I think that if you have your own alcohol and drink it in private and don't get drunk, you should be OK.
