Holy River Ganges

The holy river ganges in Uttaranchal (India). The Ganga has an exalted position in the Hindu ethos. It is repeatedly invoked in the many ancient Indian lit.

 

"The Ganga, especially, is the river of India, beloved of her people, round which are intertwined her memories, her hopes and fears, her songs of triumph, her victories and her defeats. She has been a symbol of India's age-long culture and civilization, ever changing, ever flowing, and yet ever the same Ganga".

- Jawaharlal Nehru, First Prime Minister of India, born in Allahabad on the bank of Ganges.
