The celebration of Ganga Dussehra is especially grand in the Indian States of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Bihar, and West Bengal. Ganga Dussehra celebration events are organised in Haridwar, Varanasi, Garhmukteshwar, Rishikesh, Allahabad, and Patna, where the river flows. Taking a dip in the river is supposed to help people atone for their sins, and the celebration of Ganga Dussehra gives people ten days to take this holy dip in the river. In Sanskrit, "Dasha" means "ten" and "hara" means "destroy"; thus, bathing in the river during these ten days is believed to rid the person of ten sins or, alternatively, ten lifetimes of sins.
