The Ganga is described as a very beautiful woman - voluptuous and fecund - carrying a water pot in her hand travels on a Makara, a creature with the tail of a fish and the head of an elephant. Does the Ganga flow from Shiva's hair? Does she rise from Vishnu's feet? Is she the wife of Shiva or of Vishnu? As the daughter of water, can a river ever have a lord, and be controlled? Devdutt dips into the world of the Goddess Ganga, bringing to life the reasons why we revere this river and depend on her for the cycle of rebirth and freedom. Dive into the nuanced humanity of this delightful goddess in this short, sweet read from Devlok.
