2. Then River Ganges was restricted till Loard Shree Vishnu's feet. Afterwards Loard sacred himself on earth named Vaman to demand 3 step land from King "Bali" who was doing Ashawamegh Yaga. 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.
