Overview

The Ganges is India's most famous river. From its source high in the Himalaya Mountains to its main mouth in Bangladesh, it flows through one of the world's most crowded regions. To Hindus everywhere, the Ganges is a holy river, and it has been closely associated with India's long history. The river also helps support millions of people -- from farmers to fishermen to traders -- and many industries have grown up along its banks. The Ganges is home to an amazing variety of animals and plants, including the rare Ganges River dolphin and the Royal Bengal tiger. Today, it makes news with its dramatic floods and pollution problems. Book jacket.
