Best Answer

While the Ganges River is sacred to Hindus, who believe it is a sign of holiness to bathe there, the river has experienced considerable pollution and as a result, it is a source of disease. While believers insist the Ganges is pure, in reality the Ganges contains a number of bacteria from all of the people who bathe and wash their clothes in the river: bathing in the Ganges has been known to spread such illnesses as gastrointestinal diseases, cholera, dysentery, and even typhoid.
