Hinduism worships different manifestations of God. The Sun, the moon, fire, etc. are worshipped. River is also one of them. Some of the most revered rivers are the Ganges, Yamuna, Saraswati, etc. The Ganges, for example, is considered as a form of Goddess Ganga. The river was brought to earth by Bhageeratha through the matted locks of Lord Shiva. The river was brought down so that Bhageeratha could deliver the souls of his ancestors and hence the Ganges is considered very holy and it is believed that a dip in the ganges will free you of sins.
