The personification of the sacred river Ganges, embodying spiritual purification and liberation
Ganga is the goddess of the Ganges River, which is considered sacred in Hinduism. According to myth, Ganga descended from heaven to earth to purify the ashes of the sixty thousand sons of King Sagara, and her waters are believed to have the power to wash away sins and bring spiritual liberation. She is often depicted as a beautiful woman riding a makara, a mythical sea creature, and is associated with the god Shiva, who is said to have caught her in his hair as she fell from heaven.
