Bhima River
The Ganga River is a symbol of spirituality in India. It’s been
portrayed as a holy icon forever. Hinduism is centred on this river,
and the Vedas, Puranas, and the two Indian epics Ramayana and
Mahabharata all contain writings that speak of its holiness and glory.
Hindus who pass away are burnt, and their remains are then dumped
into this river. It is thought to cleanse their soul.
Yamuna is revered as an ancient river that once flowed through north
India during the Vedic era and is thought to be the consort of Lord
Krishna and Sarasvati. Since Nashik is located on banks of the holy
river Godavari it is the location of the Kumbh Mela, a significant
pilgrimage event. Tamil literature mentions the sacred Kaveri or
Cauvery, which originates in the Western Ghats’ Brahmagiri Hills.
