2018 05 23 Ganga (Ganges River) Dasharhara or Dussehra

Celebrated on May 23/24, 2018,  Ganga Dasharhara or Dussehra is dedicated to Goddess Ganga and this day is commemorated as the day when Ganga was descended to the Earth to accomplish her mission to purge the cursed souls of Bhagiratha's ancestors.

Before coming to the Earth, the Goddess Ganga was residing in Kamandal of Lord Brahma and along with her the Goddess Ganga brought the purity of heaven to the Earth.
