The Ganga isn’t just a river. It’s a legend, a lifeline, and a living symbol that flows through the heart of India’s culture. But why? Why is the Ganga holy? What makes it more than just water? Devdutt Pattanaik dives deep into this question—mixing history, mythology, and philosophy—to reveal a story that’s both ancient and urgently relevant.
Here’s a powerful thought: Over 400 million people depend on the Ganga for water, worship, and identity. Yet, pollution and neglect threaten this sacred force. So understanding the Ganga’s significance isn’t just about faith; it’s about survival, respect, and responsibility.
In this book, you’ll find more than just facts. You’ll uncover stories of gods and goddesses, rituals, and beliefs that explain why the Ganga is worshipped like a goddess, why it’s a symbol of purity and renewal, and how it connects millions across centuries.
Pattanaik’s writing is like a conversation with a curious friend. He breaks down complex ideas into relatable tales. You’ll learn why the Ganga’s holiness isn’t just spiritual—it’s deeply human.
Want to feel connected to the Ganga—beyond headlines and headlines? This book gives you that. It offers fresh insights that make the river’s story come alive in your mind and heart.
