They view it as the most sacred river in india because:

Lord Shiva (one of the three major hindu gods) is believed to have tied the ganges river in his hair (to prevent it from overflowing and preventing it from destroying mankind). So it is believed by the hindus that the ganges flows from the head of the lord shiva himself.....
