Hema Malini is Ganga – Day 2887

The river descends from heaven and travels through the various yugas and by the time she arrives at the kal-yug but still selfless and a life-giver.  River Ganga epitomises all that is holy and sacred in Hinduism. She was brought down to earth by King Bhagirath after a penance of a thousand years. Originating from Gomukh and flowing through the Bay of Bengal, she purifies every shore she touches, inspiring sages, poets to ultimate creativity. Dancer Hema Malini says her new dance ballet is to inspire the youth to restore our sacred rivers and to ensure that their pristine glory is preserved forever. Ganga is a collaboration with Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav where the Maharashtra Government has embarked upon a massive plan to revive India’s 75 rivers and will premier in Mumbai on 19 March 2023.
