About Ganga Sagar Mela :
Ganga is regarded as the holiest river in the Hindu mythology. The river originates in Gangotri and marks an end of her journey in Sagar Island where it merges with the Bay of Bengal. There is a myth which goes around that if one bathes in the Ganga here, he/she would be cleansed of all his/her sins. The number of tourists has been increasing year after year; thus, the festival is such a grand affair when thousands of devotees from all races, backgrounds, cultures and nationalities take a dip in the holy waters and worship Lord Surya.
