Holy River Gonga

The Ganges, or Ganga, is one of the world’s great rivers. Its wide valley stretches across northern India and Bangladesh from the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal. It is one of the most fertile of all agricultural regions. Its rice and other crops feed hundreds of millions of people in India and in Bangladesh, where the river is also known as the Padma.The Ganges is the holiest river in Hinduism. Hindus venerate it as a “life-giving river,” calling it Mother Ganges. They believe that bathing in its waters washes away sin. Many Hindus go on pilgrimages to holy sites along the Ganges, especially at its confluence with other rivers.The Ganges is about 1,557 miles (2,506 kilometers) long. Its valley, or basin, is 200 to 400 miles (325 to 650 kilometers) wide. The total drainage basin covers an area of about 376,800 square miles (975,900 square kilometers).The river flows generally southeastward. It has several headstreams. The main one, called Bhagirathi, starts in an ice cave on the southern slopes of the Himalayas, some 10,300 feet (3,140 meters) above sea level. After cutting through the Himalayas, the Ganges breaks out of the foothills at Haridwar and flows across the vast Gangetic Plain, receiving the waters of many tributaries along the way. Midway in its course, near Allahabad, it is joined by one of its chief tributaries, the Yamuna (Jumna) River.The Ganges empties into the Bay of Bengal, where its mouths form a vast delta. At the delta it is joined by the southward-flowing Brahmaputra River. Their combined delta is the largest in the world. It begins more than 200 miles (322 kilometers) from the Bay of Bengal and lies mostly in Bangladesh. It is largely a tangled swampland. The Hugli (Hooghly) River, an old channel of the Ganges, flows through the delta on the west.The Ganges basin is one of the most densely populated agricultural regions in the world. Most of the original natural vegetation and wild animals have disappeared, and the fertile plains are now heavily cultivated to meet the needs of the large population. Use of the Ganges’ water for irrigation, either when the river floods or by means of gravity canals, has been common since early times. Irrigation has increased the production of such food and cash crops as wheat, sugarcane, cotton, and oilseeds.Before there were railways (and later motor vehicles), the Ganges was an important transportation artery. The diversion of water for irrigation also has affected river navigation. Today, river traffic is insignificant above the middle of the basin around Allahabad, but the rural people of West Bengal state in India and of Bangladesh continue to use it to transport agricultural products.
