AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Hindu believers continue, as they have for millennia, to express absolute trust in the Ganga’s holiness and purity, traveling thousands of kilometers to bathe in its waters and have their sins washed out of them, but now, day after day, unprecedented amounts of human, industrial and agricultural wastes are poured into it. Revering it one moment; standing by and permitting it to be desecrated the next. Is this duality a part of Shiva’s dance?'
