How clean is the water for bathing purposes?
It is very safe to bathe at Haridwar and the banks of the river Ganga. It has also been scientifically proved that the water in River Ganges is enriched with some extraordinary properties. Indian environmental engineers have confirmed that it has a super self-cleaning property. An unknown factor called the ‘Mystery Factor’ gives this river an unusual ability to retain dissolved oxygen from the atmosphere. The presence of Bacteriophages gives it the anti-bacterial nature and this is perhaps one of the many reasons Ganga Jal can be stored fresh for many years The Ganges, above all is the river of India. She has captivated India’s spirit and has drawn uncounted millions to her banks since the dawn of history.
