About Ganga Dussehra :
Ganga Dussehra is a Hindu festival celebrating the avatarana of the Ganges. On this day, if a devotee is unable to visit and bathe in the river Ganga, then Ganga jal (water) kept in most Hindu homes is used for purification. It is believed by Hindus that the holy river Ganges descended from heaven to earth on this day.
