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.
