Question

Give religious importance of the ganga

Answer 1

To Hindus, the Ganges River is the most sacred body of water in the world with sacred pilgrimage sites and cities along its banks. Many of the stories from Hindu scripture occurred along the river and, more than once, Hindu gods drank from it. The river itself is also the embodiment of the goddess Ganga, daughter of Himalaya, the mountain god.

In Hindu beliefs, the Ganges River came to earth from the heavens, where it flowed through sacred lands until an Indian king, Bhagiratha pleaded with Lord Brahma, a powerful god, to bring the river to Earth. However, the river was too powerful and would destroy the world if it flowed here, so King Bhagiratha begged Lord Shiva, a strong and mighty god, to help contain the river's force so it may flow on Earth. Shiva captured the rushing water and used his hair to slow the river's force, helping to guide it gently down to Earth.
