Ganga Dussehra
Dates follow the Indian calendar (IST). If you’re outside India, your local temple may observe a day earlier or later for tithi-based festivals.
Ganga didn't descend from heaven - she rose from the consciousness of sages who saw the divine in flowing water. Every river is Ganga if you approach it with reverence. Water doesn't just cleanse your body; it can cleanse your karma.
