Ganga Pooja
Ganga Puja, also known as Ganga Aarti or Ganga Snan, is a ritual dedicated to the worship of the Ganges River, one of the holiest rivers in Hinduism. The Ganga is revered as a goddess, Ganga Mata, and is believed to purify and sanctify the lives of those who come in contact with its sacred waters. Ganga Puja is performed at various ghats (steps leading to the river) along the banks of the Ganges, especially in cities like Varanasi, Haridwar, and Rishikesh.
