Ganga Dussehra is a Hindu festival that celebrates the descent of the Ganges River to Earth. It is also known as Gangavataran, which means “descent of the Ganges.” The festival is observed on the 10th day of the waxing moon in the month of Jyeshtha, which falls in May or June.
According to Hindu mythology, the Ganges River was brought to Earth by the gods to cleanse the Earth of sin. King Bhagirath, a descendant of the god Ikshvaku, prayed to the gods to bring the Ganges to Earth so that he could purify the souls of his ancestors. The gods agreed, and the Ganges River descended to Earth from the heavens.
Ganga Dussehra is a day of great significance for Hindus. It is a day to celebrate the purity and power of the Ganges River. On this day, Hindus gather at temples and holy sites to take a dip in the Ganges River. They also offer prayers and seek blessings from the gods.
In addition to taking a dip in the Ganges River, Hindus also celebrate Ganga Dussehra by visiting temples, attending religious ceremonies, and exchanging gifts. They also cook special foods and sweets to mark the occasion.
