Hindus consider the Ganges as a holy river because they believe that the Ganges had been sent by the god Shankar, because he was pleased by a sage who wanted the region to have water. The river had came from heaven, so if they worship the river it would not dry. They bathe in the river because it is considered to remove all the curses and sins of life.
