The Ganga (Hindustani: [ˈɡəŋɡaː]) , also Ganges (/ˈɡændʒiːz/ GAN-jeez) is a trans-boundary river of Asia which flows through the nations of India and Bangladesh. The 2,525 km (1,569 mi) river rises in the western Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttarakhand, and flows south and east through the Gangetic Plain of North India into Bangladesh, where it empties into the Bay of Bengal. It is the third largest river by discharge.
The Ganga is the most sacred river to Hindus. It is also a lifeline to millions of Indians who live along its course and depend on it for their daily needs. It is worshipped as the goddess Ganga in Hinduism. It has also been important historically, with many former provincial or imperial capitals (such as Pataliputra,Kannauj,Kara, Kashi, Patna, Hajipur, Munger, Bhagalpur, Murshidabad, Baharampur, Kampilya, and Calcutta) located on its banks.
The Ganga was ranked as the fifth most polluted river of the world in 2007. Pollution threatens not only humans, but also more than 140 fish species, 90 amphibian species and the endangered Ganga river dolphin. The Ganga Action Plan, an environmental initiative to clean up the river, has been a major failure thus far, due to corruption, lack of technical expertise, poor environmental planning, and lack of support from religious authorities.

Shortly thereafter, she stops receiving any monies from him but refuses to write to him for assistance. Then a few months later, she receives a letter from Mona that Kamal is seriously ill, and she and Sharda rush off towards Bombay. Watch what happens when the duo reach their destination and the impact their visit has on Kamal, Mona, as well as Mona's friends, and neighbors.

For nearly a billion Hindus in India and beyond, the Ganges is more than a river. It represents a divine conduit for pilgrims' prayers, and is a source of sustenance for people and wildlife alike. Photographer Pete McBride and fellow expedition members captured these moments on video during a 45-day journey down the Ganges by foot, boat, bike, aircraft, rickshaw, bus, train, and even elephant.

Kaum etwas ist mit Indien so verbunden wie der Ganges, der heilige Fluss Indiens. Mehr als 2750 Kilometer schlängelt sich das Wasser vom Himalaya bis zum Mündungsdelta an der indischen Grenze zu Bangladesch. Während das Wasser hoch oben in den Bergen rein und ein Eldorado für Wassersportler geworden ist, endet der Ganges als dreckige und giftige Brühe, belastet von den Schwermetallen und Abwässern der Industrie. - Verehrt als heiliger Fluss, genutzt als Lebenspender für die Landwirtschaft, benutzt als Abwasserkanal der Industrie ist der Ganges das Sinnbild Indiens, das sich vom Schwellenland zur Wirtschaftsmacht mausert. Mit einem Fluss zwischen Tradition und Moderne. Die ARD-Korrespondenten Markus Gürne und Michael Immel haben sich für PHOENIX auf den Weg gemacht und sind den Ganges entla...

A documentary on the River Ganges, considered sacred by more than one billion Hindus. The film starts at the Bay of Bengal, where the Ganges meets the sea, and travels up the Ganges river to it's source Gangotri, in the Himalayan mountains. Along the way we meet many sadhus, yogis, Buddhists and meditators. A very interesting journey. http://www.gangamovie.com/index.htm

Gaumukh ( gomukh ) trek: River Ganges ( ganga )
In the holy river Ganges
In the river of karma and souls
Shiva speaks to the Goddes Kali
Gentle breezes carry his voice
In the holy river Ganges
Pilgrims wash away their sins
And the water kisses their bodies
Like the priestess of your dreams
At the Sati Ritual fires burn and burn
Flames will quickly take you down
You will drwon in flames
In the sacred river Ganges
In the river of spirits and blood
Shiva speaks to the Goddes Kali
Kali will respect no god
On the hill there is a graveyard
Where the fire people lie
Those who cannot ever be there
To the river are sacrificed
At the Sati ritual fires burn and burn
Ganges endless waves still flow
But the ashes change
In the blessed river Ganges
There are many skulls and bones
Shiva speaks to the Godded Kali
Kali wants to kill us all
No more room for Kama Sutra
If you wish to stay alive
You are waiting for a new star
Maybe in another time
Take a dive into the waters
Swim and search the gate inside
You may find a lot of wonders
