Ganga Dussehra is viewed as a significant religious event in Hinduism. Auspicious tasks such as Puja recitation, conducting Hawans and events such as Mundan ceremony are carried out on this day. One gains riddance from ten different types of sins performed by a native in his/her life knowingly or unknowingly.
It is believed that anything donated must be ten in quantity. According to the Puranas, Ganga descended on the Earth on this day, so bathing in the river Ganges is also considered very auspicious. But this year, it won’t happen due to the ongoing nationwide pandemic. Hence, you can mix the Gangajal available at home with your bathing water and venerate Maa Ganga with devotion. Worshiping the Ganges on the day of Ganga Dussehra helps one attain salvation.
