Why is the river Ganges important to Hindus?

River Ganges is important to Hindus because it comes from Loard Shree Vishnu's Feet. If anyone takes a holy bath in a river Ganges then he becomes eligible for Moksha which is forth objective of human life. Four objective of human life as per Hindu Vedas: 1. Dharma: Human being should live his life with honesty & loyality. Should not heart anyone. 2. Artha: Human being should earn money what is required for him only way of legally, honestly so that he can run his & family's life wood. 3. Kam: The person get marry & contrebute towerds regeneration. 4. Moksha: This is most difficult one to achieve. Meaning There will not be re-birth again after death. Coming back to the River Ganges As per holy Bhagvat Purana: The starting poing of River Ganges is Lord Vishnu's feet who leaves in Vaikuntha Lok. River Ganges flows from Vaikuntha Lok to > Swarg Lok (Heaven) to > Earth (Starting point is Kailash Mountain) then it goes to Patal Lok. There is a story behind it. 1. Once Lord Bramha was praying Lord Shree Vishnu and he pour holy water from his "Kamandalu" to Shree Vishnu's feet. That water became River Ganges. 2. Then River Ganges was restricted till Loard Shree Vishnu's feet. Afterwards Loard sacred himself on earth named Vaman to demand 3 step land from King "Bali" who was doing Ashawamegh Yaga. Vamana's third step cracked universe & created opening for river Ganges to Swarg Lon known as Heaven. 3. River Ganges came on earth because of King Bhagirath. He prayed lord Shree Vishnu & brought River Ganges on earth HOWEVER river Ganges had a tremandous water flow because it was coming from Heaven, Lord Shiva slowed down the flow of Ganges At Kailas mountain by taking Ganges it on his head. 4. Finally Ganges went to Patal Lok where all demons live.

Conservation of river ganga by traditional method?

Conserve the Ganges River - The Ganges river has been considered one of the dirtiest rivers in the world. The extreme pollution of the Ganges affects 400 million people who live close to the river. The river waters start getting polluted right at the source.As it flows through highly populous areas the Ganges collects large amounts of human pollutants, e.g., Schistosoma Masoni and faecal coliforms and drinking and bathing in its waters therefore carries a high risk of infection. Along the 4 miles (6.4 kilometres) stretch of terraced bathing ghats in the holy city of Varanasi, the water of the Ganges is a "brown soup of excrement and industrial effluents." The water there contains 60,000 faecal coliform bacteria per 100 ml, 120 times the official limit of 500 faecal coliforms/100ml that is not considered safe for bathing.And you want to conserve this mess of a river. You should put your efforts towards cleaning the river of its extreme pollution so Indians can be very proud of it again.
