As per ...A very very lovely and knowledgeable post. As per our (I mean Hindu myth) The ganges is a canal planned and constructed by the great engineer of that time named "Bhagirath" in order to connect Himalayan glaciers to Indian Ocean to facilitate irrigation of arid plain lands of Norther India.<br />The greatness or the sacred aspect of the water of river ganges was demonstrated for the first time by the fact that the ailing sons of King Sagar suffering at the shore of the Bay of Bengal were cured by the the water of this canal. So, the place where the ganges meets the ocean is marked as first holy pilgrim place of the Ganges. This place is known as "Gangasagar" situated at the south of the city Kolkata.<br />MrinalAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00229369122721405079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168376355457288703.post-7937759370026465572013-04-08T23:21:10.284+05:302013-04-08T23:21:10.284+05:30Great job on your A-Z Challenge.

This post brought some great memories of a trip almost 2 decades ago to Haridwar and Rishikesh with her. She was pretty liberal et al, but the sight of the Ganga was extra special to her. She sang, and prayed and did the holy dip a few times and told us SO MANY stories of Ganga those few days. <br /><br />Big thanks!<br /><br />MeeraCuckoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13697563902061372977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168376355457288703.post-33080838661047419062013-04-08T19:31:24.430+05:302013-04-08T19:31:24.430+05:30Beautiful !
