Clean Ganga
Ameshwarnath Dham is located approximately 1.5 kilometers west of Govindpur–Bharouli Ganga Ghat. Every year, on the sacred occasion of Mahashivratri, the Trust organizes a grand Kalash Yatra, during which holy water is carried from the Ganga River to the Dham. This sacred tradition reflects the deep spiritual connection between our temple and Mother Ganga.
Mother Ganga holds immense significance in our religion and region. She is revered not merely as a river but as the lifeline of Indian culture, faith, and civilization. The livelihoods, religious practices, and social traditions of millions of people are closely intertwined with the Ganga.
The Ganga originates from the sacred Gangotri Glacier in the Himalayas. Flowing through Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal, it finally merges into the Bay of Bengal. Along its 2,500-kilometer journey, it nourishes ancient cities and holy pilgrimage sites such as Haridwar, Prayagraj, and Varanasi. Millions of devotees visit these sacred places every year to bathe in its holy waters and offer prayers.
In Hindu belief, bathing in the Ganga cleanses sins and grants spiritual liberation. Grand religious gatherings like the Kumbh Mela are held on its banks. Ganga water is also used in important life ceremonies such as birth rituals, marriages, and final rites.
Economically, the Ganga is life-giving. Farmers depend on its water for irrigation. Fisheries, transportation, and tourism provide employment to countless families. Many major cities also rely on the Ganga for their drinking water supply.
Environmentally, the river sustains diverse aquatic life, including the rare Ganges River Dolphin. However, the purity of the Ganga is increasingly threatened by industrial waste, plastic pollution, and untreated sewage. Public negligence further contributes to the degradation of its sacred waters.
Recognizing this urgent need, the Ameshwarnath Seva Sangh Trust officially launched its Clean Ganga Campaign in 2026. Since then, the Trust has been conducting regular cleanliness drives from Bharouli Ganga Ghat to Sohanwa Ganga Ghat.
