Synopsis

No other river can compete with the Ganges. All along its 2,500 kms live 600 million people, half of India’s population.

But it is more than a feeding river.

Indeed, the Ganges is venerated and this devotion reaches its peak during the Kumbh Mela, in Allahabad, when more than 100 million pilgrims take a holy dip in its water to purify their soul.
