Ganga (Hindu goddess)

Ganga, in Hinduism, is the sacred goddess personifying the River Ganges, which is revered as a divine force for purification and spiritual renewal. She symbolizes purity, life, and the divine connection between heaven and earth. According to myth, Ganga descended from the heavens to flow on Earth, purifying souls and rivers along her journey. Devotees believe bathing in the Ganges washes away sins and grants spiritual liberation. Ganga is worshipped through rituals, prayers, and pilgrimage, embodying both the physical river and its spiritual significance as a source of sanctity and renewal in Hindu culture.
