Ganga enriches the spiritual lives of millions of Indians for whom the river is Holy because river Ganga personifies Goddess Ganga who descends to earth to cleanse the sins of the mankind. The river itself epitomizes all the characteristics, India is known for: mythical, serene, all pervading and assimilative. Ganga represents an innermost strain of pristine coolness, piety and purity. Ganga then flows across India to the edge of ocean, where she washes over the ashes and gives mukti to the sons of King Sagar, an event commemorated even today. To contain its powerful fall, Lord Shiva steps in the way and lets the river tumble gently through his long hair onto the Himalayas. Generation after generation apologize to pacify Brahma but without success- and finally after much praying, pleading and tapasya by Bhagirath- the seventh generation of king Sagar, Ganga reluctantly consents to descend to earth. One repeated requests by the sole son of King Sagar, Kapil finally changes his mind and says that King Sagar’s sons would attain Mukti only if their ashes are cleansed by the holy water of Goddess Ganga. The story goes far back when Kapil Muni curses king Sagar’s sixty thousand and one sons and reduces them to ashes. Residing in the Kamandal of Lord Brahma, Bhagwati Ganga, like Saraswati and Laxmi, is one of the seven Shaktis of supreme Goddess Mahamayaadishakti.
