We (hindus) are the oldest culture present on earth, hindu is not a religion, it is a way of living life, unlike other religions which focuses on one single form of god, hindu culture is based of numerous gods ( around 330 million ) and in this culture, it is believed that every living being is having a spirit which is a part of God, as one dies, the spirit leaves the body and either continues to take birth as other creature or rejoin God, thus every human being in Hinduism is believed to reunite into god, like the river rejoins the ocean after a long journey, it is to symbolize that human being never dies, it just rejoin the mighty one (god) being a part of him. As quoted in hinduism
नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः।
न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः।।

The river, personified as a goddess, is worshipped by Hindus, who believe that bathing in the river causes the remission of sins and facilitates liberation from the cycle of life and death.
