Ganges is the mother river of India. What is the magical legend of this river?

India's mother river? There are many magical legends in the Ganges.

Indians are convinced that their mother river can wash away all evils and transcend the human soul. So those Hindus want to bathe in the Ganges, hoping to get clean and holy souls. Some Hindus even drown their bodies in water, because all parts of their bodies will be washed. Others will drink a bowl of Ganges water to thoroughly clean their internal organs. And every 12 years, millions of Christians will attend this washing ceremony, with the bathing beach in sauna days as the background.

In Indian culture, even if the mother river is a sacred river, the Ganges will die in the Ganges. In India, there is a local policy that people who die on the banks of the Ganges River can be cremated free of charge by the government, and then their ashes are scattered in the Ganges River, so many people are waiting to die here. But they think that the ashes scattered in the Ganges will be mixed with the ashes of others, and the sacred soul may be polluted by others, so they prefer that their bodies can lie in the Ganges intact. People who go to india tourism can see all kinds of people in the Ganges. Some bathe in it, some brush their teeth on the shore, and the water after brushing their teeth is to be swallowed. Someone is washing clothes in the river, and there may be floating bodies on the river.

In the ancient Ganges legend, there is a version that in the 6th century A.D., the Persian monarch conquered the Ganges Valley and divided it into hundreds of sections. The anger of river sand has made people on both sides of the strait miserable. The king of Macedonia overthrew the king of Persia and let the Ganges feed the two sides again. Later, in order to show off his strength in front of beautiful women, the king of Macedonia diverted the Ganges River into a stream, making it weak again. It was not until Ashoka expelled the king of Macedonia that the Ganges River was restored to its original appearance. Since then, the gods have given the Ganges immortal power, so the Ganges has been feeding India as the mother river.

This may be the Indian belief in the mother river. They even believe that as long as they drink the water from the Ganges, they will become real Indians in the afterlife.
