Details

Ganga Dussehra, also known as Gangavataran, is a Hindu festival celebrating the descent of the sacred river Ganga from heaven to earth. Observed on the tenth day (Dashami) of the waxing moon in the Hindu month of Jyeshtha (May–June), it holds immense spiritual significance. Devotees believe that bathing in the Ganges on this day purifies the soul and absolves ten sins, as "Dasha" means ten and "Hara" means destroy. Major celebrations occur in cities like Haridwar, Varanasi, Prayagraj, and Patna, where thousands gather to perform rituals, offer prayers, and participate in Ganga Aarti ceremonies. The festival also involves offerings of flowers, lamps, and incense to the river, symbolizing reverence and gratitude. In some regions, the Yamuna River is also worshipped, with devotees taking holy dips and offering seasonal fruits. Ganga Dussehra emphasizes the river's purifying power and its integral role in sustaining life and spirituality in India.
