Ganges River |
||||||
 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| The most sacred river of the Hindus, the Ganges flows 2510 km (1560 mi) from its source in the Himalayas of northern India, to its mouth into the Bay of Bengal at Bangladesh’s Meghna estuary. Hindu pilgrims travel to the Ganges to bathe in its waters, hoping either to benefit from its supposed restorative properties or to die and be transported to Paradise. This map illustrates the route of the river through the Indian subcontinent in southern Asia and shows the river’s many tributaries. | ||||||
