This festival is celebrated on poorvahan Vyapini Jyestha Shukla Dashami. Ganga Dussehra is also known as Gangavataran which means the descent of the Ganga to earth. According to legends, Goddess Ganga came down from heaven to earth in order to purge the cursed souls of Bhagiratha's ancestors. It is believed that bathing in the Ganges and donating on this day wash away all kinds of sins and good results are obtained. On this day, remembering your ancestors and offering them water is also very important.
