Ganga

Ganga

Ganga’s cleansing waters were urgently needed on the earth. But the dauntless daughter of the mountain god was not to be easily subdued as her waters darted about uncontrollably. Only Shiva could tame her by entangling her in the coils of his hair. When her waters could finally wriggle their way out, they were calmer and purer. They turned and wastes alive and filled up the oceans. Since those ancient times when King Bhagiratha sought her help. Ganga, whether roaring or placid, dancing or sombre, continues to enchant one all with her incomparable beauty.
