On the sandy banks of the Holy River Ganges in Rishikesh the steady stream of women and children emerging from the swirling turquoise waters below rarely slows. Dressed in brilliant blues, emerald greens, kids in tow they’ ve all just experienced the powerful healing and cleansing that only the great“ Ganga” can provide. Coming from all over the country and all over the world this unique experience may be one of a lifetime. After wading, bathing, floating or ladling this holy water on their infant’ s head you can see the joy on their faces and feel the peace and contentment in their hearts.
