Item description from seller

Contents Foreword. Introduction. 1. In the Himalayas a sublime journey. 2. Haridwar Rishikesh revered cities. 3. Through the plains life sustaining Goddess. 4. Sangam Tirtha Raj. 5. Varanasi city of salvation. 6. Bihar a bowl of confluences. 7. West Bengal flowing through cultural opulence. 8. Ganga Sagar divine surrender. Ganga or the Ganges is no ordinary river. For a believer Ganga is not merely a river. She is the mother Ganga Maiyya. She is divinity in flow personification of piousness symbol of life and emancipator of mankind. Though related to the great Gods of Hindu Trinity in one way or the other Ganga is considered to be a Goddess in her own right. She is a living God. This book is a personal intimate journey that every Indian can relate to. From the times of Rig Veda to the times when assorted musical tunes ring in the numerous mobiles on her banks Ganga has played a major role in shaping the history of Indian subcontinent. This river has the unique distinction of representing an entire civilization a benevolent faith and a culture in its entirety. The uniqueness of the book is in its approach to the subject. It is not a focus on the popular destinations of Rishikesh Haridawar and Varanasi. Three years of extensive travel along the 2 510 km long river right from the Gangotri Glacier (the source of the river) down to the Ganga Sagar where it merges into the Bay of Bengal this is a visual delight. Over 300 pictures portray the daily life of millions of people as the vivacious river flows through their hearts day after day sustaining and purifying on esoteric and mundane levels. The inimitable endeavour is reflected in the array of places people and life around the Divine River as it grows from gentle streams flows through the eponymous planes of Northern India and is consumed through the vast delta in the Sundarbans. 240 pp.…
