Two Days in the Year Hold Special Significance for Ganga Snan (Holy Bath): Learn About Ganga Saptami and Ganga Dashami
Every year during the summer, two festivals are celebrated to express gratitude to Mother Ganga . Ganga Saptami falls on the seventh day (Saptami) of the waxing moon (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Vaishakh, while Ganga Dashami is observed on the tenth day (Dashami) of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Jyeshtha. This year, these festivals fall on May 3rd and June 5th, respectively. On both these days, there is a tradition of bathing in the Ganga or in any nearby sacred river after performing rituals. According to Celebrity Astrologer Parduman Suri, Ganga Saptami marks the birth of Mother Ganga. On this day, she worshipped Lord Vishnu with her holy waters and then took her place in heaven. Ganga Dashami commemorates the day when Mother Ganga descended to Earth from heaven through the matted locks of Lord Shiva, flowing down to the earth as a vast river. Those unable to visit the Ganga River can perform a symbolic bath at home by adding a few drops of Gangajal to a bucket of water. On both days, donating items like sesame seeds, clothes, grains, and dakshina holds great spiritual importance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thousands Are Saving Money Using This Wall Plug elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Click Here Undo Auspicious Timings for the Holy Bath Ganga Saptami begins on May 3 at 7:51 AM and ends on May 4 at 7:18 AM.
