Ganges River

The Ganges River, or Ganga, is one of the most important rivers in India, flowing over 2,500 kilometers from the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal. It is considered sacred by Hindus, who believe its waters purify the soul and help in attaining salvation. The river supports millions of people who rely on it for drinking water, agriculture, and transportation. However, the Ganges faces significant pollution challenges, threatening its ecosystem and the health of those who depend on it. Efforts are ongoing to clean and preserve this vital water source for future generations.
