 In Hindu mythology,Goddess Ganga is the personification of the Ganges River,one of the holiest rivers in India.She is considered a divine being with the power to cleanse and forgive sins. According to mythological stories,goddess Ganga descended to earth to purify the souls of the dead and bring salvation.She is often depicted as a beautiful woman riding a crocodile(makara) and holding a water pot (kamandalu) and a lotus.

Goddess Ganga is worshipped not only as a river but also as a goddess who embodies purity,forgiveness and spiritual purification.Her descent to earth is closely linked to the efforts of King Bhagiratha,who performed deep penance to bring her down from heaven and purify her with the ashes of his ancestors.
