The legend behind Ganga Dussehra dates back to ancient Hindu mythology. According to the scriptures, King Bhagiratha performed intense penance to bring the Ganges down to Earth to cleanse the sins of his ancestors. Pleased with his devotion, Lord Brahma granted his wish, but the force of the descending Ganges was so powerful that it threatened to flood the Earth. To prevent this catastrophe, Lord Shiva caught the river in his matted locks, allowing it to flow gently onto Earth. Thus, Ganga Dussehra marks the auspicious day when the Ganges descended from the heavens to fulfil Bhagiratha's mission.
