The river Ganga has supreme importance in Hindu religion. There are many interpretations regarding the birth of the holy river Ganga. It is said that the river Ganges came into birth when the lord Brahma washed the feet of Vishnu. In Ramayana Valmiki added that Ganges was the daughter of the mighty Himalaya and Menaka. According to his writings the Divinities made her abduction and took the river to heaven. After taking Ganga to heaven, Ganga began living inner side of the Karmandala.
