The Ganga river, or as the westerners call it, the Ganges, is one of the most holy, respected, pure, and pious rivers in India. Another thing to note is that Ganga is not just a river, she is a Goddess and a mother and is respectfully said Maa Ganga or Ganga maiya. The river Ganga flows from the Himalayas, covers Northern India and then blends into the Bay of Bengal.
It is believed that bathing in the Ganga can cleanse one’s sins and purify the soul. The positive energies near Ganga ghats in Haridwar, Varanasi, and Rishikesh are unmatched. Be it a calm morning of meditation, or immersing the ashes of the dead, people do it all near the Ganga ghats wanting to seek peace and calmness in their lives.
