The holy Ganga
River is one of the
strongest anchors of the Hindu religion. It holds the faiths of millions of
people and is looked upon as a saviour. The journey of a Hindu life begins and
ends in Ganga . The river immerses not only the
sins of the people but also the bodily ashes of the departed souls.
The sacred waters of Ganga originate from the mighty glaciers of
the Himalayas and after a journey of 250 kilometres,
it reaches the plains of Rishikesh (in Uttarakhand).
