About Ganga Dussehra

Ganga Dussehra celebrates the day the river Ganga came down from heaven to earth. It falls on the tenth day of the bright half of Jyeshtha, in May or June, at the height of summer.

King Bhagiratha is said to have prayed for years to bring the Ganga down to free the souls of his ancestors, and Lord Shiva caught the mighty river in his matted hair so that its fall would not flood the earth. Dashahara means the removal of ten sins, which a holy dip on this day is believed to wash away.

Devotees bathe in the Ganga at Haridwar, Rishikesh, Prayagraj, Varanasi and Garhmukteshwar, float leaf-cup lamps with flowers, join the evening Ganga aarti and give water, fruit, fans and sherbet in charity.

How people celebrate Ganga Dussehra

  • A holy dip in the Ganga
  • Floating leaf-cup lamps and flowers
  • Evening Ganga aarti at the ghats
  • Charity of water, fruit and fans
  • Sherbet and mangoes in the summer heat

How to wish well

  • Send wishes in the morning or at the time of the evening aarti.
  • "Har Har Gange" is the call every devotee knows.
  • Wishes about clean rivers and gratitude for water suit everyone.
