Goddess Ganga descends to Earth in her full force, which could potentially destroy the land with her powerful flow.

• Bhagirath, fearing this destruction, prays to Lord Shiva at his abode, Mount Kailash, seeking his help to control Ganga’s descent.
• Shiva, deep in meditation, hears Bhagirath’s prayers and catches Ganga in his matted locks, preventing her from flooding the Earth.
• He then divides Ganga’s flow into seven streams—Bhagirathi, Alaknanda, Janhvi, Saraswati, Bhilangana, Rishiganga, and Mandakini—to ensure a gentle descent.
• This divine intervention makes Ganga’s waters sacred, symbolizing purity, devotion, and the power of perseverance.
