INDIAN RIVER

The Ganges River is not just a body of water—it is a sacred and vital symbol for millions of people. Worshipped as a deity, it lies at the heart of Hindu spirituality: immersing oneself in its waters is believed to cleanse one’s sins. Its banks, in sacred cities like Varanasi and Haridwar, are places of prayer, rituals, and daily meditation. Beyond its religious significance, the Ganges is essential to everyday life: it provides water for drinking, irrigation, and basic survival. Despite the pollution, it remains a spiritual, cultural, and practical lifeline for the entire population.
