Ganga (Ganges River)

The Ganga, or Ganges River, is one of the world's most significant and sacred waterways, flowing through northern India and Bangladesh. It spans approximately 2,500 kilometers, supporting millions of people who depend on it for drinking water, agriculture, and religious practices. The river is culturally revered in Hinduism, symbolizing purification and life. Despite its spiritual importance, the Ganga faces pollution challenges from industrial waste, sewage, and religious offerings, raising environmental and health concerns. Efforts are underway to clean and preserve this vital river, balancing its spiritual significance with ecological sustainability.
