The Sacred Ganga: Tale of The Contaminated Beauty in 360 | The Quint

The Ganges River is worshiped by a billion Hindus and a water source for 400 million, but the stress and pollution have turned it into an environmental disaster.
Known as "Mother Ganga," Hindus believe that a dip in the river absolves a lifetime of sin. Here in the northern town of Devprayag where the head of the Ganges is formed, the waters appear crystal clear, drawing villagers to perform ablutions.
