You must have always seen the river Ganga flowing through the locks of Lord Shiva's pictures. Let us know some things related to this mystery.
The Ganges River is considered the most sacred river of the Hindus. The river flowing through many parts of India satisfies countless people with its waters.
If we talk about the geographical composition, then the origin of the river Ganges is from Gomukh above Gangotri situated in the Himalayas.
According to religious belief, Mother Ganga was sitting in Dev Lok before coming to earth.
At that time, as a result of the harsh penance of Bhagirath, Mother Ganga descended on the river.
According to mythology, it was not possible for him to come directly to the earth due to the strong water flow of river Ganga.
That's why Bhagirath prayed to Shiva to reduce his flow and bring him down on the earth.
At that time, Lord Shiva made the river Ganga enter his locks and she sat there for a long time.
If Lord Shiva had not gathered the river in his locks, it would have torn the earth and reached Patal Lok due to its rapid flow.
