Ganges River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (971 words)
The Ganga is personified in Hinduism as a goddess: Maa Ganga (Mother Ganga).
The vain Ganga felt that this was insulting and decided to sweep the whole earth away as she fell from the heavens.
Because of Bhagiratha's efforts Ganga descended on to earth and hence the river is also known as Bhagirathi, and the term "Bhagirath prayatna" is used to describe valiant efforts or difficult achievements.
