Ganga is the holiest river of India given the form of a goddess — flowing from the heavens, caught in Shiva's matted locks to spare the earth her force, and descending to purify all who touch her waters.
"She came down from the sky so fierce that only Shiva's hair could tame her into a gentle, life-giving stream."
Mother, purifier and giver of life, Ganga represents purity, abundance and endless compassion. A daughter named Ganga carries grace, generosity and a soul that nourishes everyone around her.
