Gangotri - The Eternal Gift Of Bhagirath's Penance
Be it man's urge to placate the Gods above or to quench his
desire for adventure, Gangotri is an ideal location. Gangotri,
the origin of the sacred river Ganges, attracts tourists in
large numbers every year. The confrontation with the daunting
rivers and attempts to unravel the mysteries of the supernatural
world are ubiquitous sights here. Along with the thrill of
conquering nature, what one experiences here is the mystical
aura that India is so famous for.
Mythological Legend
According to an old legend, Lord Shiva rewarded King Bhagirath
after his penance and Ganga came down to earth. However, due
to her pride, and the fact that the earth would be devastated
if Ganga came down in her full force, Lord Shiva caught her
in his locks. It was then proclaimed that Goddess Uma or Parvati,
Shiva's consort, would bathe in the Ganges daily and only
then would she descend on the earth. The sacred stone near
the temple denotes the place where Ganga first came down to
earth. This is why Ganga is also called by the name of Bhagirathi.
Temple
The 18th century's temple dedicated to Goddess Ganga is located
near a sacred stone where King Bhagirath worshipped Lord Shiva.
Ganga is believed to have touched earth at this spot. According
to another legend, Pandavas performed the great 'Deva Yagna'
here to atone the deaths of their kinsmen in the epic battle
of Mahabharata. The temple is an exquisite 20 ft. High structure
made of white granite.
