Ganga Snan is a sacred ritual in Hinduism where devotees bathe in the holy Ganges River to cleanse their body, mind, and soul of sins. Spiritual & Religious Significance • Purification: Believed to wash away past sins and bring spiritual liberation or moksha. • Divine Blessing: The Ganges is revered as a living goddess (Maa Ganga); bathing is an act of faith and surrender. • Auspicious Days: While it can be done daily, it is considered especially sacred during full moons (Purnima), new moons (Amavasya), Kartik Purnima, Ganga Dussehra, and major festivals like the Kumbh Mela. • Ancestral Rites: Pilgrims often perform tarpan or shradh (prayers for ancestors) along the riverbanks during their visit.
