Ganga Dussehra 2023: The special day is almost here. Every year, Ganga Dussehra is celebrated with a whole lot of pomp and grandeur all over the country. One of the most celebrated Hindu festivals, Ganga Dussehra is celebrated to commemorate the descent of the flow of Ganges to the earth. Varanasi is especially known for the celebrations of Ganga Dussehra. Devotees take bath in the holy waters of Ganges and celebrate the day together.
