The study begins by exploring the mythological origins of the Ganges and its presence in Hindu scriptures, including the Vedas, Upanishads, and Puranas. It then examines the river's role in key Hindu rituals, such as bathing and cremation, detailing their symbolic meanings. The book further investigates contemporary challenges, including environmental degradation and pollution, discussing their implications for the river's future. By drawing upon ancient scriptures, historical accounts, and ethnographic studies, "Sacred Ganges River" offers an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complex interplay of tradition, belief, and environmental change that defines the river's identity.
