Ganga Dussehra, celebrated in June, honors the descent of the holy Ganges River from heaven to Earth. Hindus believe King Bhagiratha's prayers brought the Ganges to cleanse sins and bless humanity. Devotees take sacred dips in the Ganges, especially in Haridwar, seeking purification and spiritual merit. Offerings are made, and people light lamps to express gratitude to the river. It's a festival of reverence for the Ganges' life-giving waters. (99 words)
