Ganga: Why 'Mokshdayini' river's existence may be in danger
Varanasi, Kashi or Banaras is considered to be the oldest living spiritual city of the world. It is perhaps the only known place on earth where death too is celebrated. An integral part to this characteristic of this holy city is the presence of 'Mokshdayini' Ganga river. For devout Hindus, Gangajal holds an unparalleled spiritual importance.
